I would separate the birds for a few days with the heat lamp just so your healthier bird doesn't overpreen or stress out your other bird further. It is also a good idea to seek veterinary care in person ASAP to make sure she doesn't have any lasting injuries from the fly paper, stress, or anything used on her feathers, especially since she is showing so many general signs of illness.

Poor little guy! He very possibly has scaly mites. Ideally he should be seen by an avian veterinarian, but there is an over-the-counter product called Avimec that is a drop-on remedy for scaly mites. These mites only live on the body, so you don't have to treat the cage as well, but it would be a good idea to take it apart anyway and give it a good deep cleaning just to be safe. Plenty of soap and hot water and thorough rinsing will work. Good luck with him.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It seems like you have done about everything you can to get her to improve at home. At this point, she really needs to see a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can check what the extent of the injuries may be to try to get her to improve. Keep in mind that dog on bird attacks can result in a lot of trauma. Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. If birds are healthy, there are no sprays that should be applied to their feathers. In fact, some sprays found online or in pet stores can be harmful to birds, either to their skin or their lungs. If you believe there is a problem with your bird's feathers, I recommend contacting your primary veterinarian who takes care of him to see if he needs to be seen in person for an exam. If he has something like mites that are causing him to itch, he may require specific treatment. I hope this is helpful - best of luck with your budgie!

Thanks for reaching out about Bacon. Systemic antibiotics could be helpful. Keep the wound clean. Offer small amounts of food and water, at frequent intervals as to not over-extend the crop. Good luck.
