I have a hand fed new born baby bird who is 3 weeks im aware it should be with mom but it isn’t for reasons that are long to explain here however I been hand feeding for 2 weeks now and the last 2 times I hand fed it kept sneezing and I’m a bit concerned I called an avian vet the only one I got close to my area and they are telling me they have nothing till 3 weeks from now I’m pretty worried baby is other wise healthy I’m not sure why it is sneezing every time is hand fed if any body could give me an idea or let me know what I should do is it normal ps. ( clear fluid comes out when it sneezes)

Hello Maria,
Can the vet not recommend somewhere for emergencies? Did you explain what the problem was? Could you ask to speak to the vet in person on the phone, or leave your phone number so they can call you when they have a minute?
It could be infection. But sneezing is not a normal thing for chicks, so they need a vet to take a look.

Yeah but I don’t have the funds for a 300 dollar visit
