Asymmetric fatty desposits

[saroj12]

Not to worry about says vet. Cut down on fat intake. Xanthomas and lipomas are the things that are of concern and they are lumpy fat deposits and growths, not flush with the skin.

Oh dear! I hope the diet changes are successful!! I'm sure having your nice big playhouse to have free flight in will also help

p.s. as you can see Emily plucks under her wings which is why I noticed it. Chickie is at the high percentile in weight too but I can't see any yellow when i wet her feathers....

Hmm, perhaps it is related to the fatty deposit, being caused by it maybe??

Hah, that sounds like me and Charles!! He's been getting a lot more endurance though lately... more than I've got

i'm sorry saroj but what exactly are asymmetric fatty deposits, and what causes it?

actually mitthu and chhotu have never been vetted, as there's no avian vet around so when it comes to "something wrong" i don't know much

Juhi, I just meant she has this patch of fat under one wing only. It's caused by being a little piggy-wiggy about food and eating too many calories. Though she flies a lot her intake is more than her outgo
I'm restricting her zupreem pellets and only giving the lower calorie TOP pellets. She also gets very little seed

Aw what a good girl she is holding still for Mommy.

is that something to worry about? can it harm a bird in anyway?

too much fat is a bad thing ....can lead to fatty liver disease or fat accumulated around organs.

Thanks for the info

i'll have to check mitthu's under wing area he's the biggest piggy i've ever seen

did the vet say if it would go away after a period of time with diet change or just not get any worse?

just like with us ..it goes away...

 

[GG.]

thanks, that is good to hear

so I guess you will now will be in the dog house with Emily over a diet change?

 

[saroj12]

She is easier to restrict than Chickie. Her diet is in progress. I'm imagining the yellow is fainter already. Chickie I am still pondering but I need to act swiftly. She doesn't fly but one or twice a day...

 

[Gen120]

Interesting! I hope the diet change works, I need to check my fids for that. What causes these and can flighted birds get them?

Asymmetric fatty deposits... hey! I have some of those
