I’ve been working with my vet to make sure that Sprout’s (lovebird) feather chewing isn’t being caused by an underlying condition. Her bloodwork is normal and tests for bacteria and yeast are normal. We are left with it’s hormonal or a habit OR a mix of both. Her feather chewing starts when she’s molting...outside of molting she leaves her feathers alone.
We are going to try an Aloe Vera bath, but the directions have me a little worried. Georges Aloe Vera 8oz-Harrison's Bird Foods
It’s recommending adding 2 drops WooliteTM to the mix as a wetting agent. Has anyone ever done this? Or am I just being too cautious?
I really want to help Sprout and get her feathers around her neck back to normal again. I’m trying to avoid a cone
