Poppysmum Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 Awww thank you everyone, i do have a lil prob, my little girl has a runny nose, she's eating and drinking normal and is happy, i've read that it could be because she's allergic to our other animals or herself.. is this bad for her? is there anything i could get for her pr should i rush her to the vet? xx
Tweedle Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I think any nasal discharge needs to be checked as soon as possible.
Poppysmum Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 ok thanks, I'll take her in the morning, is it something to be worried about? I hope she'll be ok, I thought it might be common with african greys xx
DrTak Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 There are a few infections that are either chronic. or may even be contagious. Psittacosis, for example, may be chronic, but is easily treated. Most of these things are tested for only once or so in a bird's life, as long as it is not being exposed to other Greys (or they are tested and safe, as well).
Jayd Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Welcome, yes this needs to be checked, just to be safe, Pleas keep us informed...Jayd
Poppysmum Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks everyone, I shall keep you all posted and will put some pics of her up soon xx
