My umbrella cockatoo wasn’t herself for the last two weeks, she would over preen & shreds her feather to bits. I got her checked at the vet I wasn’t sure what’s going on with her.
My Vet checked with the X-ray & found what she swallowed which is metal buttons/decorations from clothing or furniture.
The Vet gave me two options do the peanut butter method at home or leave her at the clinic to be observed for one week. If things are not improving surgery is the last option & it's a risky one.
I wanted the best for her & chose to leave her at the vet. I feel guilty & awful. She hates being locked & there is no avian vet that accepts emergency cases.
Has anyone experienced this situation with their parrots? Using the peanut butter method or surgery to remove the metal objects? Ty
