Hi guys,
Just looking for some opinions, since early may my parrot (4 years old) has been very itchy, i started to notice both his ear holes through his feathers. He scratches in that region a lot, i once notice a little liquid bubble in both ear holes but not now.
He has bald patches on his face and he scratches in the corners by his beak. His beak has little marks on it.
I notice he does that beak open thing a hell of a lot, not gasping for air but like that thing they do to aid digestion i believe. He has little yellow dots on face, vet ruled out mites.
Feathers on his face sometimes come out easily when stroking him and my avian vet noted a small yellow deposit in his feather when he plucked one out to investigate, poo looks normal. No lethargy and activity levels normal, nose and skin around beak is puffy and flaky.
Hes currently on a 7 day course of baytril and metacam
He has to go back on the 18th to the vet for a culture and sensitivity test, i believe the vet said something about pathogens.
Does this sound something easy to fix or something more sinister?
