Rahul Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi all, I need help. My african grey is about 8 months old. I have had him for about 3 months. He was doing well & had just started trying to talk. For the last few days he is unwell. Very listless, hardly speaks. Whistles only when we try to take him on your finger. There is shit which is sticking to his rectum. I don't have access to any good vet here who handles birds. Any ideas how I can sort this out & cure Bakbak. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Rahul , you need to get your grey to a vet ASAP,if not an avian vet then any kind of vet is better than none. If he has poop stuck to his vent there is clearly something wrong.Listlessness and sleepiness also points to illness. Is your bird eating ?

Tari Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Find an avain vet and get there asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 That does not sound good... Birds do not show their signs that they are sick until the condition is serious because in the wild the flock in many cases chase off the sick to keep the rest of the flock safe. If I were you I would find the nearest avian vet and get Bakbak there ASAP...even if it is a four hour drive. I have lost a finch in less than 8 hours after showing signs of possible illness. Where do you live...maybe there is someone here on the forum that is in your area that can point you to the right vet. P.S. - The administrators on this site are very strick about language...next time say poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 LoveMyGreys is right...if you really can't get your baby to an avian vet, get him to a normal vet in the meantime...they might be able to at least buy you some time to get him to one.

Talon Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes, get him to a vet ASAP. Any vet is better than NO VET! If he APPEARS sick, then he is VERY VERY sick. Please don't hesitate, and keep us posted. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi Rhaul, Even if you need to travel several miles (not knowing where you live) to get to a Vet. Your Greys life could depend upon it as others have already indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
