Raja has been with me a few months, his owner gave him up because she was frustrated with his feather problems. My friend brought him home, gave him baths, etc.,etc. I brought him to my house to begin medication. He was on metranyzidol (please forgive my spelling) for 20 days with no changes. Our vet found that his feathers are growing in abnormally. Multiple feathers are coming in through one follicle, he had to really dig to get some of his tail feathers out. He is now on .02 meloxicam for 14 days, .08 baytril twice a day for 21 days, .05 ronizol for 10 on and 10 off 10 on, a Tranquility blend (that smells soo bad!) twice a day and Healx Soother spray with F10 twice a day.
I had never encountered a Indian Ringneck that picked before. Does anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks, Becky
