has anyone ever heard of or saw scalyface on vents of birds before

i have only seen it in pictures of birds on beaks or legs untill i found a sick budgie today in my yard with it or is it possible its another effect on a bird with that bad disease pfd or whatever its called there is a topic of birds with this on here somewhere and the bird looks more like that than just scalyface especially the beak bottom but has her feathers even they look funny but not bald still flys sort of

yes very bad cases can go to feet vent eyes beak

put some spot on the neck ivomectom on it and use parafine oil sparringly to vent and other afected areas

this kills the mite and it suffercates them as they can not breath do morn and night for a week then again in three weeks to kill any that may of hatched from eggs layed in the cavitys as this only kills live mite not the eggs repeate this one more time three weeks after this that and the ivomectom should inshure all mite are gone also the oil helps heal the skin you see rezults in days

try not to let it get in mouth will cause runs

thank you only i really really smothered it with the oil and it bit the cottonbud i tipped it on its vent god might have been better off me not catching it i am going to get it put down i think thats the best thing for everyone meaning me and her and my birds how much does it cost to have done never had to have that done plenty other things but not that it cost me 12 dollars to have daughters mouse done after it got a tumour

Oil in this cold weather probably isn't the best, as she'll probably not be able to protect herself against the cold. I picked up two from a pet shop who had majorly bad scaleyface. They turned out wonderful after a bit of treatment. Don't jump the gun, try to save it first

bring her in the warm house

or she may die from cold

she could be tyed and stressed from her flight

is she on a perch or the ground dont worry about the oil od lol

just dry her feathers well with a tea towel has she eatten

are her eyes bright and clear or closed

cheeping even soft all things to consider

place her in a box shoe box would be good for warmth

bring inside and cover with a towel put breathing holes in it lol

just leave her till morn if she lives take to vet you may stress her more worrying and fussing over her

put seed in bottom of box and some green with water on it so she has moisture not water to tip over

good luck thats what i would do

well guys the bird lived through the night but

i ended up taking her over to the vets i tried to crop feed her no go lots of stress food out nostril just made things even worse so over we went he said she was very bad and asked what i thought so she was put down this morning he charged me $25 for avian consultation he said what you guys said that scaley face diesease is fixable in most cases but she had more issues going on he thought she was old to not a young bird suprized her keel bone wasnt more prominent his words not mine and said nicely that i might have put to much oil on and next time god forbid my words not his to cut down the oil anyway i learnt that last night on the forum before my vet visit thanks guys he also told me my birds would be fine and to go and buy some aqium gel antibacterial hand gel no rinse no fuss and use when handling birds one from the other it is great you dont need water and it dries quickly anyway thank you for trying to help me your suggestions were all spot on

oh i also learnt i was calling it scaleface and its scaleyface the proper term

you did right by taking her to vet she now does not need to suffer

25 dollors was good anesthetizing my bird cost me 44 and then the rest for the lab tests and corrier to city ect poo smears autopsy which i find out on monday night about both birds

and will let you all know out comes

that hand stuff is good i also wear the gloves doctors were when cleaning each breeding cage as not to spread poo from my hands to next cage hens big fat ones are messy yuk lol but these are cheep for pack of 100 or so in safeways i have new pair each cage and toss other pair out one box lasts me a fortnight

yes he was good and only charged the normal avian consult fee instead of that and then whatever you have done after that whereas i never got smears autopsy or anything else done at all this time it will be good for you when you get the outcomes of your birds it would be stressful waiting for you but it will be a help for others to learn from as they say something good from something sad

yes im hopeing any info may help others to recognize simular simptoms and get to vet before to late like i was

second bird was not well and i needed to sacrafice her to see if my flock was in danger or i could have had him save her but we descused the matter the pro and cons and decided that she was way sick anyway and not got much chance but she could save my whole flock from hiding sickness if we found out exactly what she had and considering i had a bird fit and die the simptoms were not same but both are sighns of phyciosses (was that close kaz) i am medicating birds in morn as avised removed their water last night all birds bar breeding birds are to be put in aviry till treat ment ends under his advice

no other birds look ill at all but he said they may of got lucky and just got slight dose and if treated now will beat it but left slowly one by one month after month they will fall in numbers and till finally all gone exept of course the ones amune to it

he said it may have just been due to something else but will treat anyway before to late as rezults will be to long to wait

as if it was piccociss (second try )then it would of been to late and they could all be effected so///
