my 5 yr old quaker is tail bobbing and has scratched only the right side of neck until the feathers are gone, along with the tail bobbing, he has been to vet and put on gabapentin, i also have a collar on him, will my other birds be ok or is this not good to have them around him, final question, what ever this is will he survive. thanks


Answer:

Hi,

These are all questions you will need to ask the Vet who is treating the bird. I have no way to know what the diagnosis is or whether your other birds are at risk. Please explain to the Vet that you need to discuss some things related to the bird so that you have a better understanding.

Take care,

Brenda
