Cockatiel illness
0
Points
Asked by deannastotts 2 years ago in pets
I have a female cockatiel who has started breathing heavy and staying fluffed up, her breathing just seems to get worst, it started with sneezing but that has stopped about a week ago, she still eats but i dont see her drink water. Her droppings look normal maybe alittle dark, and her mate is just fine. This has been going on for about 2 weeks.

You need to get it to an avian veterinarian ASAP. Do not hesitate. Not a dog/cat vet, but a bird vet (exotic animal vet). Birds of all types are susceptible to respiratory problems due to temperature fluctuations with the pending change of seasons. She obviously has some type of respiratory problem.

The fluffing up is an attempt to conserve heat.
