Help! My bird is puffy, weak, and losing balance. What should I do?

Your bird is probably ill, but i couldn't tell you what is wrong based on these very general symptoms, you will need to take her to an avian vet where a blood test and faecal exam will be done to determine what is the cause of the disease before it can be treated.

He should be examined by your veterinarian or by a veterinarian experienced in treating birds. Lethargy, chronic regurgitation and loss of balance would be serious symptoms in a young bird. Given Tweety's age, he should be seen as soon as you can get an appointment. Birds are very good at hiding illness or injury until it is quite serious. In the meantime, keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the vet. Do not allow him to fly and remove or lower perches to prevent injury from falls. Consider feeding a commercial handfeeding formula temporarily or soaked commercial pellets to get some food into him.

Hello. Your bird is sick, but there is no way to diagnose the problem in this forum. It may be infectious, metabolic, parasitic or even neoplastic. You need to have Blue examined as soon as possible, but until them make sure he is kept as warm as possible. Increasing the room temperature to about 80 degrees will help. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for reaching out about Furball. If she is that sick , she needs to visit a veterinarian, ASAP. Small birds have few energy reserves and once start showing illness, illness is significant. Heat support, assisted fluids and food are important, but are not a cure. If there a chance of metal ingestion such as zinc or lead? These considerations are identical to those mention with heavy metal toxiciity. Good luck.
