Hi Everyone,
I am new here and my name is Betty I am a 30 year old Orange-Tipped Amazon and I would like as much help and advice on my Fluid Filled Cyst.
We realized she was having trouble breathing about a month ago, so we took her to the vet and we found a water filled cyst. The vet put her to sleep to make sure that is what it was, he took an x-ray to make sure there was nothing else and at the same time he removed as much water as he could. The next day we noticed that there was still a grape sized cyst around her cloaca area again and in 3 weeks she was having trouble breathing again so we took her back. This time the vet was able to remove the water again, but this time he did not put her to sleep. The fluid from the cyst that was removed was taken to a lab and was analyzed. Nothing came back no cancer, no tumor, just a little protein and a small amount of skin cells, everything was clear. The doctor did tell use that it was not in her reproductive area it appeared to be in the skin that is why he was able to remove the water without putting her to sleep this time.
Everyone that is involved would like as much help and advice that can be given. This is the first Water Cyst that our Vet has ever ha. He does not want to operate unless it is the last resort. He is looking for as many alternative methods as possible other then surgery. he has been practicing as an Avian Vet for over 25 years and is the BEST one in the area. He would like some information on this as well. We are all working together to find as much information as possible. I am hoping that someone on this forum has had the same problem as we have had and will be able to help us in any way possible. Other then this Cyst she is in prefect health.
Everyone involved Thanks everyone in advance for all of the help and advice we can get. Even Betty Thanks you.
