So, I made the choice to buy a young budgie (maybe 10-12 weeks old?) that has a dirty vent. I got two budgies, but only one has a dirty vent. They are being housed together and I’ve had them for one day.
I requested an appointment with an avian vet but won’t be able to talk to them till Monday.
The birds are both active and they are already bonding, preening each other etc. I didn’t want to roseate them because they were already housed together before I got them and they are obviously more comfortable together.
I’ll take them both to the vet, as they will both need treatment.
In the mean time I’m curious if I should be concerned and if there is anything I can do to make him more comfortable.
I don’t know how soon the vet will be able to get them in, so if this one isn’t available, then I’ll try another one.
I see that someone else had a very similar issue but with an older bird and their bird had tail bobbing. I see absolutely no other symptoms except the dirty vent. The poop looks pretty normal to me. It is formed and maybe only the slightest bit wetter than what I would consider normal, but generally looks normal to me.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
