I have a young princess parrot brought home on Sunday. She was always fluffed up and asleep, so I took her to an experienced avian vet a few days ago. She was having breathing issues earlier that day. She said that she has an arrhythmia and that she either has a respiratory infection or a heart condition. Earlier today I noticed she was missing some feathers on her head that were fine yesterday. My mum did her medication last night so she might have accidentally hurt herself, but Iām really scared that it could be pbfd. She came in contact with lots of my other birds the day I got her (I tried to quarantine her but my mum didnāt understand and thought it was ok to introduce her to the other birds when I wasnāt around.) I walked into the room to see her flapping her wings on the cage of my other princess parrot. She came in contact with all my birds except my budgies and Iām scared that they might catch what she has. Do you think itās pbfd? What should I do? Is it just a coincidence? My mum said that when she was medicating her she might have got her feathers stuck in her zipper. She acts fine other than being a bit sleepy, and has a great appetite. She only had trouble breathing after she was startled. We tested her for chlamydia and the test came back negative. How can I make sure the other birds are ok? Can any experts tell me if they think itās pbfd? The avian vet didnāt have any concerns of it being that, but I canāt help but worry. I donāt know what Iād do if I lost my princess parrots, my conure, my budgies and my eclectus.
