Hello again everybody,

 

I've been busy treating Sky and Cloud for suspected scaley mite. I couldn't get Ivermectin at the vet but was instead sold a pyrethrin based spray to use. As Sky has some minor discharge on the feathers above his nostrils, I was also given an antibiotic for him. He also has a patch of feathers missing from the back of his head (he was like that when my daughter chose him) that never grew back. Here's a photographic progress report, please let me know if there's anything else I should be doing as Sky is my daughter's favourite because he is so shy and quiet, I just hope that's not a sign he's not healthy!

I need Sky to be well by the 18th of December as we are going away for a week at Christmas and bringing all three birds with us (Twilight will be out of quarantine by then). :tree: Thanks

Hey Mate .... From those photo's I can't say that it is / was scaly face as if it was/is i can't tell at an ealry stage, I haven't had it yet ( touch wood) But I can see the difference in the photo's ...

 

The peeling of the beak is a nutrition issue so the Anti Biotic could be helping with that .. But like I said I have no " real Life" experience with this so I will just write .. Best of luck and Bump the topic up for you

Thanks Neat,

 

I feel like I've tried everything, but I'm sure I haven't! I just want Sky to be healthy! :bluebudgie: I worry for him, but also for my daughter who is very attached to him! Sadly, she chose him from the petshop because he was getting picked on and had feathers missing at the back of his head so she felt sorry for him and wanted to "rescue" him! I really need to make him a sucess story for her! :sadsorry: If there's anything I can do for him, I'll give it a try. I'll keep on with the nutritional supplements and fresh foods and cross my fingers!
