Face Rash

[Gorndt]

Hi guys, searched all over and couldn't find anything on this.

 

My 4 month old CAG, Leto, seems to have a n itchy spot around his right eye, accompanied with redness (Possibly from scratching). I notice he scratches a lot, not just n that spot, so I wonder if the rash may be under the feathers as well. The eye its self seems perfectly normal, he still uses it to check things out and there's no discharge or anything.

 

So for now I just stop him whenever I see him scratching, and it looks to me like it's getting better now that he's leaving it alone.

 

Any ideas what could be causing this and what we can do to fix it?

I'd have Leto's vet check him out and make sure there's nothing brewing. I don't mess with rashes or irritations. It could be a simple irritation, habitual scratching, or it could be something more.

 

Either way, catching it early will stop the scratching from escalating and turning into a plucking event, for example.

I too would have a vet check it out,best safe than sorry.

Just to be on the safe side, I too would have a avian vet check it out. I hope Leto is all right!
