Bluedoo Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 hope the first mentioned doo out of box 23, ain't got para Alex hope its only dehydrationHow could it have para. Every bird in the Nats have been vaccinated!!!!!!!!!!
Guest bigda Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 How could it have para. Every bird in the Nats have been vaccinated!!!!!!!!!!there are known cases of a secondary infection a Bird that holds it head to the one side either hurt-ed its neck coming out the basket or has paratyphoid and when it misses its food as it dips down for it is a sign and it needs baytril to sort it out early
Bluedoo Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 I'd be more suspicious of the matting. More likely the bird has been in contact with some chemical thats affected its sight/nervous system.
john cumming Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 not a good sign,but, i once had a bird that showed that sort of symtoms and feared the worst even knowing they all had been vaccinated against " para " took it to the vet & after a check up it was discovered the bird had a wee splinter of wood at the top of its crop bottom of neck and that it was causing a lot of pain while bending neck to eat and drink and it was componsating by turning the head/neck to the side?? after the offending splinter was remove she was back to her old self within a few days, shes now 13 and still producing not all so doom & gloom as it first looks
