I did some reading on this and there seems to be some success with organic health foods, have you searched some that information. Its worth a try. Keeping you in my thoughts |

ok try this one " Psittacosis" it is treatable all you need is to get a antibotis called " psittavet " easy to treat if you get the meds , it goes in the drinking water for 45days 4g to 400mls of water you will have to treat every one |

If you treat with psittavet for the 45 days immediately after you need to treat with probotic for 10 days as psittavet depresses the immune system - I had to do that after mine got it beginning of last year. The only real bad thing with avian medicines is they tend to have a side effect of depressing the immune system which in turn leaves the bird open to secondary diseases. A common secondary disease after psittacosis is megabacteriosis. Treatment for that disease (megabac-S) is very expensive! Secondary infection a few of my birds got after psittacosis was coccidicosis. |

here is an update on twitter I went and got some milk thissel & have been putting it in her food she is about the same no better that I can notice but also no worse. her poops are sticking to her bum a lot more so every day I take her out & clean her bottom for her. she is starting to get angery about this or she is getting worse & I just do not know it I will tell you one thing she is one tough cookie I though she would be gone by now she is still eating & drinking she is loosing her bnlance or her bottom is just heaver than the rest of her which throws her off blaence but she gets to the top of the cage just fine by climbing she is also not chirping to the other birds as much as she used to |

can you please post a new pic , so i can have a look at her abdomen , can you have a feel just under her crop to the left see if you can feel a large mass you might have to check one of the other to see if there is a difference, By the sounds of what is going on i think her liver is having problems, |
