If this were me, I would cover a lot of bases in this up coming appointment.

CBC, Chem panel, Fecal Gram Stain, Skin scraping for culture.
I would demand oral antibiotics and pain medicine.

When the results returned if nothing was jumping out as the culprit I would do Xray's and possibly an asper titer. Of course I would hope the first round of diagnostics returned promising results.

The cream you were given is antibacterial along with analgesic pain med though with the area it’s treating I doubt it does much.

I hope you find better answers and get some better meds at the second vet.

Good luck!

This is what my cockatoo did a few years back when I had him. Im anxious to see what the vet says and what could be causing this. Poor little guy! Sending my thoughts and prayers!!
