round 35 cWhat is the approximate temperature there?
some timesBurt pants when he’s too hot. Does your baby have its wings out from its body too?
Thank you@Macawnutz @Hankmacaw
I thought birds suffering with dehydration had eye balls that kind of sunk into their heads and in the case of Macaws the skin wrinkles an awful lot around the eye?
I remember reading some of this the other week when Burt had his little hunger strike and I was worried about dehydration so I had a quick look for what I needed to look out for- I am in no way questioning either of you- I am here to learn what I can.
Monty looks to me like his cheeks in some areas have swollen and other areas have badly sunken in but not his actual eye balls? They look normal to me in comparison to his other pics. Could a reaction or bite possibly do something like this?
I also noticed the photos only show one side of Monty's face.... @MEENA JI are both sides of Monty's face the same to look at?
I have no idea what the issue is and like the others I think the sooner you can find and contact a vet the better but I am really curious about what is going on with Monty.
EDIT: I now see that some of the questions I asked have been answered, sorry about asking the same things you have already answered Rakesh.
Sure i will send picturesAlright Rakesh, can we get some new pictures? Have you pushed some extra fluid and were there any changes?
No cardboard box just some soft rubber toysYou might contact Brian Speer, Doctors - Medical Center for Birds - Oakley, CA
I have consulted with him several times. He knows macaws (co authored the book "The Large Macaws").
What kind of childrens toys does the bird chew on? Does Monty chew on the cardboard box? Just checking for things that may be mildly toxic.
Should Monty slow down eating and drinking please post right away.....
Can you post a video of Monty panting or breathing hard?
