:mad: Ok His tail feathers were coming in nicely well the ding dong bit & broke a huge blood feather & it's bleeding again so I cleaned it up & packed it w/ corn starch .He destroyed his collar so what can I do to get him to stop picking at that darn tail .I keep it real moist hoping it doesn't itch when it gets dry.Looks like another sleepless night like when I got him home to watch him all night so he don't pick.Anyone have any suggestions? I was told water w/ a lil of Listerine cause they don't like the taste when they pick. Help me I want Sultans tail to be long & beautiful like I am sure it was when he was young..He just wont leave it alone & will pick a scab or feather till it bleeds.. Doesn't he feel it it must hurt ..:mad:All suggestions welcome & my vet is closed till Tuesday & the closest is in Mass 4 plus hours anyway doing 75 mph :hehe:

Refresh my memory. Has Sultan seen a vet already and had a clean bill of health?

Hi John yes as far as the vet said he was 100 % healthy just had an infection from plucking his tail feathers.The guy I got him from said he just started doing it but my vet said he had been doing it a long time from the looks of it.I was reading tonight he could have clamidia or something? Isnt that a std that humans get? lol Do you think there is something else maybe my vet didnt see?

Well it has been a few days w/ the home made collar & it is working just not 100 % I still have to keep an eye on him he can still pick but not as good.This am I removed his collar & gave him a bath & will leave it off him till bed time tonight.He is getting used to it its for his own good I tell him lol.Well I will keep ya all updated as the days n weeks go by & hopefully he will be 100 % & have his tail back soon ....
