Worried about my suncheeck

Yes, thats what he said. He only did xrays. And then he confirmed it was her tail. Her mouth is not wet all the time. So I dont know what to think. He gave me baytril 5mg/ml 0.2 ml twice daily and meloxicam 1.5 mg/ml 0.02 ml once a day. The place I visited has good reviews, I saw like three birds while being there.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but ANY avian vet worth his salt would have done gram stains/fecal smears IMMEDIATELY. Your vet is not qualified to handle your case. Please find a CERTIFIED avian vet; your current vet is wasting your money and killing your bird

The place is called alta rancho pet and bird hospital located in rancho cucamonga CA.

I'm not familiar with them but I AM familiar with parrot health care. I have dealt with good vets and bad, and I'm telling you ANY vet who knew ANYTHING about treating birds would have immediately done grams stains (costing less than $40) and not even mentioned x rays (much more expensive) until the obvious causes had been ruled out. I hate speaking so bluntly but your current vet has not business treating birds much less taking your money for his so-called help.

Tomorrow I will ask him for a photo of the xrays. Hopefully he is willing to give me one. I upload it tomorrow.

You can share them and maybe that will be helpful, but X-rays cannot diagnose respiratory infections to my knowledge, and they certainly can't say which medication needs to be used to treat it.

Well, I had take her to two vets already. i dont wanna keep spending money I dont have in vets. Both of them told me it was her tail. if both of them are lying then I dont know how to find a good vet near me. Both places had the best reviews. :/
