Sick baby canary!

Hi, this is my baby canary! She was doing so well for the past couple weeks, but this morning I found her looking like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/715/img0490gn.jpg/

 

There are swollen bubbles all over her body. I checked up on her again tonight, and the swelling has gone down, but the bubbles are still there. Can someone please tell me what's wrong?

 

EDIT: She is still active and alert.

Isolated or Multiple Lumps - often on Wings / Back or Chest: Feather Cysts: Affecting primarily canaries that are heavily feathered, especially those with double-buff soft feathers, but is also seen in older canaries. Genetic.

Masses on Wings and Body - Feather cysts. May be genetic or caused by damaged feather follicles.

 

Masses on Head - can be caused by the Pox virus, caseated sinus abscesses or mycoplasma.

 

Masses on Legs and Feet (Scaly Leg Disease ) - can be caused by the Pox virus, insect bites, swelling from strangulated fibers or Knemidokoptes mites.

 

Can it be Mites? jayd

Hi everyone, sorry for not updating sooner! It was canary pox. Her mom originally had it and passed it on to her baby. There wasn't anything the vet could do put prescribe antibiotics. Unfortunately, the baby didn't make it and died this morning. On the bright side, her mom who had the wet version of canary pox (blisters in mouth) is doing a lot better. Thanks for all of your help! I really appreciate it.
