Question:

November 5, 2020

Sick bird.


My female Amazon has had a breathing issue for about 3 weeks. She has now stopped eating and just sits with her head under her wing. Is there anything that can be done for her or is it too late.


Answer:

Hi Joan,

You need to take her to an Avian Vet as soon as possible. There is no way to know if she can be saved, but you can’t allow her to suffer. Birds need to be seen by a Vet at the first signs of illness. Hopefully the Vet can still do something for her.

Take care,

Brenda
