  1. Thanks so much 'BJ' for your incredibly unhelpful, full-of-attitude response. My, I'll bet that you're just the type of individual that people at parties queue up to talk to & have fun with!! Maybe next time you'll read a post properly before attempting to answer an enquiry. ("My question is: can the 'growth' be removed easily by a vet? My very ignorant understanding of the condition is an oil blockage that has solidified - am I close? If this is the case and taking into account how firm the vet handled the lump, is it not possible to simply break/twist it off?") I'll try elsewhere for an answer thanks......
  2. Hi all, I have 2 budgies and one has a blocked preen gland. A visit to the vet confirmed this and antibiotics were prescribed despite no evidence of infection (I did query this and was told that a 'side-effect' of these may be the unblocking of the gland). The vet commented that it was one of the worst cases she'd seen and the next step after the a/b's plus increased vitamin intake (started the same day) would be a trip to a specialist, a biopsy and subsequent treatment that "......will be very expensive.....". My question is: can the 'growth' be removed easily by a vet? My very ignorant understanding of the condition is an oil blockage that has solidified - am I close? If this is the case and taking into account how firm the vet handled the lump, is it not possible to simply break/twist it off? I assume by now that most of you reading this are cringing so please excuse my ignorance! Thanks in advance.....
