Good afternoon, my bird was diagnosed with heavy metal intoxication. I was given by my avian veterinary a treatment for my bird which I would have to inject 0.1 ml two time a day for 5 days then once a day after that for 14 days. I am very scare of hurting the bird they told me how to inject her. But is this normal that they give the injections to the people to inject at home. I did the first injection already, the bird didn’t even feel it. She didn’t even scream. By the way my bird is an umbrella cockatoo. When I took the needle out she bled a little very tiny like us whenever we get an injection. I was told to inject around the muscles where the keel bone is.
If anyone know more information that would help I would appreciate it. I am a first time bird owner so all of this is very new to me.
thank you
