Parrotlet is sick please help

[livlowe]

My parrotlet has a huge bald spot on her butt and has poopy caked to her bottom I didn’t notice it until today but it definitely hasn’t been there long. I have no idea what could be wrong! Maybe an infection? Please someone help. Excuse the pictures I know they’re a little gross but I need help.

I would take her to an avian vet...she shouldn't have poop stuck to her vent, that isn't a good sign, please make an appointment with the nearest avian vet. I hope everything works out

Avian vet. This is an emergency and needs treatment promptly. It is very serious.

Not only can I not afford a vet bill but the closest avian vet is 3 hours away

Is your bird female?

I firmly believe you’re going to need a vet. My vet is just under 3 hrs away- when you need a vet the distance is just something you have to deal with unfortunately

I am very sorry to hear that you can't afford the care. However this is a very serious condition, which can be fatal. You really need a vet. I can't diagnosis this as I am not a licensed vet. Her symptoms look a lot like egg binding and she needs medical care. It really isn't a suggestion, as without care she could pass away.

I am sorry this is hard to read. I know you are scared for your little bird, whom you love. It is just the reality she needs care.

yes she is female

I agree it looks a lot like egg binding, it's fatal. I'm sorry to say the only treatment you can receive is from an avian vet.

I'm so sorry, I hope she recovers!

 

[Mizzely]

Agree it looks like possible egg butt/binding

 

[MiniMacaw]

Could you look into options like care credit maybe? If it is egg binding, it’s extremely painful and can only be treated at the vets. Here’s a little info on it...
