lisachristine Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Anyone know if it's safe to use pure organic coconut oil on a small pluck site? Thanks, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Anyone know if it's safe to use pure organic coconut oil on a small pluck site?Thanks, Lisa I really don't know why you would wanna use a product( coconut oil) which a grey finds tasty, on a plucked area where the area shouldn't be aggravated. Go to a pharmacy and purchase aloe vera gel and put it on the plucked area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 No oil on the skin Dave just steered you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisachristine Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Dave, she is allergic to aloe vera (blisters). Greywings thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 In that case I would look to a vet for advice. I agree with Dave about the coconut oil, it might taste good and actually increase the way your bird is worrying at the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Dave, she is allergic to aloe vera (blisters). Greywings thanks. As an alternative, go to the pharmacy and purchase a tube of 1% hydrocortazone cream. It's also harmless and birds don't usually bother with it. Use it often and make sure the cream is rubbed onto the skin, not just the feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
