hi
the board went down when I went to post this but I think she has a tumor

she is a little over 30 grams & her keel bone is sticking out so that you can feel it
she does not fly as good as she used to either

sometimes she looks like she is having hard time with her balence

I have been to the vet onec already thinking she had a cold of some sort because she also is having this clicking sound in her chest you can hear that here you can hear it the best at the middle &end of the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU5nNTetWTw

when I brought her in her keel bone was not sticking out as it is now & I do not have another 200.00 or so $$ for a follow up visti any thoughts?


she is still eating & her poops are normal
has anyone gone through this type of thins with there birds?

Hi kathy
i just read the post, i have a few questions

that sound does she still make it

is she still calling back to the others ?

has she been wormed?

i really think this a problem but i dont think its and infecton.
a few things that will help get some weight on her plain canary seed, corn, millet
but be careful if you incress her weight to fast it will put alot of stress on her heart, it takes time

let me know if there is any thing else about her that has changed

It wouldnt hurt to run her thru a course of antibiotics. Also, followup visits should cost next to nill. Did the vet not give her any meds? Call and have him prescribe u some for respirtory infection. U should be able to just go in and pic some up over the counter since the vet has seen the pet already. Get baytril if u can. :)

I am so so sorry to hear this, if you post the symptoms in detail perhaps some of the experienced people of JB can be of some help. I wish I could help but my knowledge is so limited. Everyone understands that sometimes the money is an issue. Keeping you in my thoughts.

she has this clicking sound in her chest & her keel bone is very pernouned (sp?) you can feel it when you hold her in your hand it feels like she is thin
but her bottom is very chubbie which makes me think it is a tormur or some sort

ok thanks for the info,

here is what i know, ok that clicking sound should have been fixed with a antibotic ok that did not work

rapid weight loss could be from a few things infection, worms , growth (tormur) being is near he botton, mind you this is a guess but a egg tormur, comes to mind , not uncommon with budgies

I would see how she goes if its a tormur they is not alot you can do unless you have a vet opp and remove it , very costly, kmowing that money is tight i would see how she goes

please let me know if any thing happens
