Sick parrot


I have a 2 month old Indian ringneck parrot who just keeps on crying and won’t eat anything when we checked it had fever also
What do we do?


Answer:

Hi Aditi,

I’m sorry your little guy isn’t feeling well. Please take him to an Avian Veterinarian as soon as possible. I am assuming you are still hand feeding him? Bacterial and yeast infections are common in handfeeding chicks and can be easily treated, but he needs to be seen and diagnosed by a Vet. The Vet can prescribe any medicine he may need. This is critical in a baby bird, so he needs to be taken to the vet right away.

Take care,

Brenda
