okay if this is in wrong place please change it

 

i have a cock bird looks like something is in his ear cavity and still alive

he seems good eatting and all then he starts looking up in the sky all like he is on drugs

then he has a fit but not a fit just he like freaks out going in circles unbalancedand it seems to be in his right ear

he is in pain i can see that then the pain stops and he is fine again

can i flush his ear with salt water

or will this damage him or hurt him more

the vets are all closed and the animal hospital is like hours away and i dont drive

no i dont have anyone who can take me

so i need to find an awnser please can anyone sugest anything

is it in with other birds or seperated?? im real sorry i dont know how to help darl

i have separated him as you would i did this earlyer in dayhe started doing the look up in sky thing straight away then he was fine he only just started the fit thing its like when we turn in circles and really fast then we stop and go diaginally sideways and fall over its just like thathe has only done it twice in a spand of 15 minits and not since i am trying to catch one on vid but he is now sleeping well not sleeping but ....okay since his fit thing he has got really bright green liquerd poostill seems fine bar thatdoes anyone know what this could be i put sulfa s in water incase but dont think he is actually sick like that would heat room make him dehydrate should i heat him in a warm room of say 29 30 degree or that to hothas know body got any clue usually everyones like full of sugestions not onekind of feel alone here

i guess not

well hes stopped all kind of weird ness and is now just normal with bad poo so

i guess intill i can seek vet advice is cross my fingers he stays all good

thanks anyway

why wont anyone comment on my bird and what may of caused his weird fit thing

which has not happened again

 

i just want to know if others have had this ever or if this

 

he is in very stable condition although will need a vet to find out his status

im just gueesing but maybe he is freaking out all of a sudden from pain from his ear as thoo=ugh we get pain from ear pressure....i dont know what would be a good cure...maybe try putting warm water down the ear and then spilling it out....

i did think that but then thought may deafen him or get a infection

all animals ear cavity's are different

i just wish i could even have called a vet just for add vice but un less an emergency

so............... i may make him worse he is in pain still but

i wondered if getting a chill could cause a ear ach like in us

Sorry, sorry , sorry! Didn't see your post, wasn't ignoring it or anything.

 

okay, I can't be of much use I'm afraid as I've not experienced anything like it.

 

However, I have heard anecdotally of a hen that went round and round in circles and then started to have fits: she had a tumor on the brain and eventually died.

this problem is a toughie...do you know how hes going now??? i am getting a bit worried try reasearching on google something like budgie ear infectiions...i might try that now for you

 

*Update

there isnt much on google on bird had a flakiy ear and it kept yawning as though it was trying to unblock its ear??? is that similar? if it is this girl had to give it alot of vegies, painkillers probiotics and stuff you get from the vet which is a shame because you cant get to the vet

There seems to be alot about yawning meaning ear infections but no fits with it.

i didnt think people ignoring just mabe had no clue

but im lost at if i should try something or wait till vet as he will b going if he lives the week end

he seems in his own world

i just did this so you would know i edited my post with an update coz you cant see on the forum

thanks um he actually must be feeling better as when i went to check on him he had excaped lol

im wondering if this was his whole plan

he seems fine

no yawning

no fluffyness no nothing

but still looks like he is looking up mor than birds do

like a kid with long hair trying to see

he follows me when i talk so he can hear

when i click he responds perfict to where im clicking

so...?????????????? got me baffled

i appreciate you looking up stuff as i cant do that sort of thing

i know that sounds dumb but i just cant ever find anything

im no good on com

 

okay well he just flew and had a nother thing

im wondering if he is blind

i got a vid now so will work out how to get it to photobucket then here

hes feet seem to be not working you will see him try and perch he has hard time near end of vid

if i can get it on

Edited August 1, 200915 yr by GenericBlue

mabe he is epileptic as the light in my computor room seemed to make him get worse

now i took him back out he better again

he had another seshure type thing this time mussles were not controllet wings went strat out cach side then he rolled over on side

he fine now hes out the light

 

nothing i can do nothing you can do either i dont think just need to see if he makes it till mon morn fingers crossed

i will post vid though of some weird behaviour but not a fit thiny

bit of mussle control gone thats it

sorry i cant do it it went to my album

so i tryed

but dont really want people to see my pics just bird picture would have been fine but fam also so

Edited August 1, 200915 yr by GenericBlue

I can't be of any help, sorry... but if you think the light is effecting him, perhaps put him in a warm room with a cover on the cage, to keep it dark. Warmth from a lamp is usually recommended for a sick bird, but if your computer light sets him off, I wouldn't use a lamp. Good luck and please keep us updated.

 

(and I'll move this topic to the health section)

I am real sorry I cant be of help. Its beyond my area of expertise. BUT I would send Chrysocome a PM if I was you .....for advice.

i am hoping he i still okay gb and has been okay through the night...is any pictures or videos you can show us ??

Sorry I really can't suggest anything that will help. I hope that you can find out what is causing the problem before it is too late. Have the vets opened so that you can take him for their opinion?

 

Good luck

If you say there is something in his ear that is moving, i would suspect ear lice or even a worm... i have pulled a worm for the third eye lid of a bird before.

 

I would treat him with ivermectin to the back of the neck and a drop of moxidictin (or equivalent wormer) to the beak,

 

The fits could be from the horrible feeling of something being in the ear

Agreed, Always's good to treat the possibility's just incase, Maybe a tiny bug or mite got in his ear.... and it may be gone by now.... i would like to think of it as a "human swallows fly" scenario.... LOL

Sorry to hear about the loss of this young one.

 

It does seem quite unusual what you have described. Please keep us all informed on the outcome of the autopsy.
