Budgie Skin (on Wing) Excreting Alot Of Yellow Puss

Featured Replies

Hello ppl,

 

Mary here very worried about her baby blue budgie happy, yesterday i doscovered a section of his wing on top where it extends out that seem to be missing feathers as red raw skin is exposed and alot of yello puss is visible.

I tried to clean it with salt water and more and more puss comes out alot for a litttle bird. He appears to be normal other than this and still can fly.

I figure it is an infection of some sort any tips on what or how best to fix it?

 

Thanking you in advance for any assitance.

 

Cheers

MAry and Happy :hap:

I am afraid I would be taking it to a vet for antibiotic injection or treatment as the infection seems to have got out of hand and is a deep seated infection. Blood poisoning could result in the loss of the bird in a very short space of time without help. Let us know how it goes :hap:

Absolutely, your baby budgie needs a vet ASAP an avian if possible to ensure this infection doesn't spread. I would look in the cage for any sharp toys, perches, corners or parts of the cage that could have resulted in this injury.

Could be an infected "in-grown" feather. A vet's the best option if you are at all worried, which you obviously are :)

 

Good luck,

KathyW.

:ausb: I agree with all these very wise budgie owners, vet consultation is required and treatment required, good luck! :oliveb:
