Hey Jules,

 

I'm afraid I have no idea what it could be, but I think most people here would say to get your grey to an avian vet as soon as possible - and keep us posted.

 

What's the blister like, and how bothered is he by it - does he seem his usual self? Has anything changed in his routine recently?

Julia gave you good advice, head to the vet to check it out. Could be nothing to worry about but better to be safe than sorry.

Never heard of that either, you should as advised above, get to a vet first thing , just to be on the safe side. :dry:

Can you post a picture? This literally just showed up in the last 24 hrs? If so the most likely thing would be an acute injury (like from a fall or something). Is there blood or oozing? In any event if you cannot confidently determine what it is, I would make a vet appt ASAP. Are there any other symptoms affecting his behavior?

hi, thankyou for all your replies, fortunately the next day it seems to have got smaller, and now gone altogether, a friend said it could be maybe a bit of strain when hes talking ??? strange ! hes been fine in himself just the same as usual really, hopefully it wont come back , thankyou everyone . . jules

Jules, if it has been a while since he has seen a vet it might be a good idea to take him in to at least consult on what may have been going on. I know anything like that is worrisome. But I am glad he is better, just keep an eye on it in case it comes back.

I agree with Judy. Probably time for a vet visit just to have everything checked out.

[jules]

thankyou, i will have him checked over

Jules, Please let us know how things go.
