I've recently adopted my newest cockatiel named Ducky about a month and a half ago. She has an abcess on her wing which doesn't allow her to fly. The humane society checked it before I adopted her and it causes her no discomfort, so they didn't want to remove it. She cannot grow flight feathers on that wing. I've had no issues with her so far.
The past 2 days I've noticed her crop looks a little big, and I'm wondering if I'm just being paranoid or if it looks swollen? I had a budgie that had crop problems and unfortunately she passed from a full crop impaction overnight. As soon as I noticed her crop get big I booked a vet appointment, and by the time she got there they gave her medication and told me the best thing I can do is just spend time with her before the inevitable. Ducky's crop doesn't look very big, but after my last incident I'm very paranoid. My closest bird vet is booking a week an a half in advance, which I'm willing to book but I'm not sure if I should. To bring her in for an emergency it's $230 just to examine her. I've got savings I can use but I just don't want to bring her in an emergency and spend that for then to tell me she's alright. Can anyone tell me if she looks normal and I'm overreacting, or if it looks serious?
Thank you!
