Hello. My female budgie Glory whom I took like a handicaped bird 2 years ago from one woman, is now in quarantine due to possible arthrosis in the foot. I took her with limited flying, and one foot has some shortened finger... maybe some other bird was biting her there....During last months her flying is worse... like one wing would be lifted not the same way like the other... and the fact she falled down on the floor many times from the top of the cage probably caused an arthrosis in her foot. My vet. doctor did not see there a gout. but it is hard to detect such small joints. If she has also arthrosis in the wing joints, I do not know. i keep her in the larger cage with some flat perches there.
I give her millets, grass seeds, senegal millet sprays, corn, carrot ( she does not prefer ), occassionaly apple or some green plants. I should add vitamine powder 2 times a week.
I was recommended to add the aloe vera drinking gel active freedom in the water. It contains some conservants... I hope the side substances do not charge the kidneys.... I noticed her poops are a little different during the night... Dr. Ross Perry replied me on my email, but he did not see my budgie, and I am confused from his reply. Quote : " Ivan, I am not sure whether or not your budgie has a degenerative arthritis, an autoimmune disease, a chronic systemic infection, gout or something else. If your budgie is still with us in 1 month I will be able to resume dowsing. /the droppings show slightly excess urine slightly excess urates and green discolouration of both that can indicate liver and kidney diseases. Isuggest keep on aloe vera if it is fresh and add a 30 day course of doxycycline in water and if you can get it, a course or zeo actiiv8 (www.zeoactiv8.com). let me know if you can and I will advise dose procedure.Blessings, Ross"
Also my vet, doctor did not understand that. I give her kidney tea for birds and aloe vera gel in the bowls for drinking. I will try to add the photo of her poops.... Does anybody have an experience with such changed poops and arthrosis? Thank you.
