My bird has a pink tongue bulge, lethargic, bad stool. What to do?

You can monitor Cloud for additional symptoms (lethargy, loss of appetite, bleeding, etc) or you can have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet. If you can post an image with a new question, we may be able to provide more specific advice.

Given his age, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian. His symptoms have multiple causes and may require diagnostics to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.

Hi. I'm sorry Paco isn't feeling well. Hiding their beak in thier feathers and sleeping a lot is definitely a sign of a sick bird. Because birds are prey species they often hide signs of illness for a long time before it's noticeable. Make sure Paco is in a warm, quiet, draft free area so as not to stress him more. I would find an avian veterinarian to take him to immediately. If he's swollen he may have fluid buildup, a tumor or other internal disease going on. Sick, stressed birds can die very easily unfortunately so be as gentle and stress free with handling and transport as possible. Until you get him seen, keep him in a warm quiet location and try to tempt him to eat- either his regular diet or pieces of rice or pasta, fresh fruit or veggies. Good luck to you and Paco.

Thanks for reaching out about Lio. It sounds as if he is fairly sick, so a veterinary visit is recommended as soon as possible, probably today. Once birds show signs of being ill, the disease is fairly advanced and earlier veterinary intervention has a better prognosis. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some support. Removing perches and allowing to sit on the bottom of the cage, on a soft blanket/towel can improve comfort and cost less energy. The sooner the veterinary visit, the better the prognosis. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Ibruz and including photos. These clinical signs of illness but are general and not specific for any particular disease. A veterinary visit needs to be arranged to assist with a diagnostics/treatment plan, as different conditions are treated with different medications/procedures. The key is early diagnosis to improve outcome. Try offering food and water via a syringe, in small amount to decrease chance of regurgitation. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out. Continue to keep clean with a warm compress. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostics and treatment plan. If a female, egg binding should be considered. Clumped stool in either sex could be due to liver, renal, intestinal and or infectious diseases. A veterinary visit is recommend to assist in a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing supplemental heat in the 80-85 F range will give some comfort but is not a treatment. Good luck.

I'm sorry your bird isn't doing well. If he is unable to digest food and now has an infection or growths, it would be best to have him checked out by your vet in person. Infections internally, GI issues, organ dysfunction, parasites, etc can all be possible causes to not digesting food properly, and having any new growths looked at is best. In the meantime, keeping him eating, drinking and keeping any wounds or affected areas clean can help, as well as making sure he is separated from any other birds to prevent the spread of illness.
