He is now 5 months. Henry is having trouble breathing, making little wheasing sounds and is obviously in distress. His poos are very runny, vent is dirty 1 nostril is blocked and is fluffed up and is quite lethargic. He is eating and drinking though. Henry was in my main avery with other birds that dont seem to be sick. He is now in a Hospital Cage. can anyone offer any ideas as to what is hapening here or can anyone recomend a good Avian Vet in the Albury Wodonga area. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thanks Paul Link to comment

I suggest you ring round the vets & ask if they are into birds or can they recommend a colleague in you area....B.J. Link to comment

It could be air sac mites or some other infection, If you have the Ivamectin one drop behind head. You will have to act quickly to save him, hope you can find a AVIAN vet for him or see what others advise. Do you have cement floor in Aviary or soil? Link to comment

All the other birds look in good health at this point but as Henry did they could be hiding any illness and could go down hill in a short time. At leas Henry has hopped onto the perch in his hospital bed but isn't eating at this stage. Time will tell Paul Link to comment

Little henry sadly didn't make it. He battled along for some time but finally succumbed to his illness. All other birds seem to be well, none showing any signs of illness over the last six months.
