Hello everyone,
I just want say first i am a big fan of this site and forums. I didn't have account before i usually just read what people say and learn from them.
However my feathered buddy has a problem with the bottom of his feet, pictures attached.
The real problem is that I live in Kuwait, theres little to no vets around here. And every vet pharmacy in here are giving me different opinion. It feels like they just want me to buy their products. I mean, bird specialist here are rare, even bird owners here are just for show and social media stunts. and i started talking to everyone who owns a bird if they know a vet here to help diagnose Pixels feet
This is Pixel, my Black headed caique, and my first birb, i had him since 2018 and i hand fed him. He is awesome. I love him very much.
I read every where and it seems the closest to the diagnosis is that it could be a bumblefoot or bacterial infection ( i really hope this is not the case)
I don't know what to do
I keep cleaning his cage so much more now and changed all his perches to ones that look like a real tree branch rather than smooth straight ones. Of course I am hoping this is a bumblefoot
Please can you direct me on what to do until i find a vet
