Hi All, Thank you guys.... Vet online really works I am happy and my Zhakuna as well She is improving day by day. We are on 5th day of the treatment and will continue antibiotics till Monday (for 7 days), mix of Clotrimazole and BETADINE till next Monday (for 14 days), wormwood tea till next Monday (for 14 days) and Imunofan for 100 days... I'll keep you updated

Hello, Vet online thinks it is insult after earthquake and recommended: antibiotics (ciprofloxacin), for immun system (Imunofan), for wounds mix of Clotrimazole and BETADINE and for interstine wormwood tea. Hope it will be helpful...

Hi All, Thanks for supporting, we are trying vet online in Russia (have no other chance). Already sent all info, now waiting for response, I'll update as soon as possible.

danmcq let me explain, 1. I live in Georgia (Not In USA) and here we do not have avian vets unfortunately! I have called to head of vets of our zoo, but he said that: "they are not able to help me!" because they do not have avian vet and they do not know how to cure african gray (and in general parrots!!!) 2. The reason why I was registered here was above mentioned - I thought that in case you may help me, but unfortunately I was mistaken 3. I think, you guys do not love my Grey as I and my family does. Zhakuna (as we call her) she lives with us 20 years already. Maybe there was no need to explain but... anyway...

Jayd thank you a lot for advise

Hi All, I think I have found answer on my question, here is it (http://www.avianweb.com/PBFD.html): Feather Plucker or PBFD? Young chicks are not likely to pluck; so this would not apply to chicks. However, if an adult bird develops bald spots, you might consider either possibility. You can distinguish between PBFD and normal feather plucking by looking at where the feathers are being lost. If they are missing from the head and crest - an area they cannot get to with their beak to pluck - then it is likely to be Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease. A Bird Suffering from PBFD ... is likely to show the characteristic abnormal feather and beak growth might have feathers that look like stubbles and are obviously deformed is likely to have short ‘clubbed’ feathers may develop curly feathers may have feather shafts that often break, or you might see narrowing or pinching of the shafts (this condition worsens with each molt and your bird will usually become progressively balder due to inactivity of its feather follicles). may have a beak that is deformed, especially the upper beak, and often overgrown; the beak usually splits or breaks

Dear All, Thanks for helping and for advice - to take my grey to the avian vet. It was really helpful... After all what I have posted I believe that my English is so bad that I was not able to explain that, here, we DO NOT HAVE AVIAN VETS. If you really want to HELP ME and MY GREY please let me know what to do in this case. Thanks a lot

Dear All, Thanks for posts, please see attached pics and let me know your opinion regarding wounds.

Dear All, Thanks for replies... I still have no good results with my grey Tried Aloe Vera juice, but nothing changed. Tried Aloe vera gel, but no changes as well... she still plucks the feather and very often falls down. I gave her chamomile tea to help relax, but she is still anxious, maybe there is a better solution? Ordered avian collar, going to attach it, but before I get it I'll make it myself hope it will help. Please if you have any better ideas help me to treat my grey. Her daily diet is: 1. ZuPreem FruitBlend with Natural Fruit Flavors for Large Birds 2. Sunflower seeds 3. Kaytee Exact Natural Parrot/Conure Diet 4. ZuPreem NutBlend with Natural Nut Flavor Premium Daily Bird Food 5. ZuPreem VeggieBlend with Natural Carrot Flavor Premium Daily Parrot Food 6. Peanuts 7. Walnuts

Thanks for reply Greywings, Already bought Aloe Vera Juice and will use Chamomile Tea as well, hope it will be helpful.

Thanks for reply danmcq, Earthquake happened in december 2012... She flapped around a lot and she damaged feather on each wing. Unfortunately I did not noticed it at the same time She is picking damaged feather and then bleeding starts... but how I can make to stop her no to do this I don't know Now I started to put on damaged areas cream for injuries (for softening), hope it will help...

Hello, Need your advice... My african grey, after earthquake started picking feather under both wings and her behaviour became very strange: 1. she is very stressed 2. stopped talking 3. she is seating in cage and very rarely comes out But she eats a lot Actions taken: Tried to cure with Feather-In (2 weeks) but no result . She continued picking... Have no idea what to do (please do not advice to take her to vet, because here we do not have professional vets, who can fix such a case) :confused::confused::confused:
