Hello! My boyfriend and I got two caiques about 2 1/2 weeks ago and took them to a vet about a week ago. They both checked out fine.
Problem is that my boyfriend's caique has really red nostrils and sneezes a lot. She was doing this at the vet, but again, she checked out fine. I'm concerned because theres discharge every time she sneezes and my bird keeps trying to clean her nose. She also scratches inside her nose. Wouldn't this have raised an alarm to the vet? She has been doing it ever since we bought her.
Also, we have to leave for vacation for 4 days on Wednesday and they will be taken care of by my family in the same cage. I don't want my bird to get whatever his bird has... but she has been like this ever since we bought her.
There are no candles, air fresheners, and no one smokes. Being in college, we don't have the money to go to the vet a week after we just went and pay $100+, especially when she was doing this at the vet and he said she looked fine.
