My parrot has a runny nose. 10 points tonight?

Question

Please help, I love my parrot and I'm worried about her. She is a seventeen year old yellow naped amazon named motze and she has had a runny nose and occasional shivers. i left her window open a little later than usual but it is still 75 F (24 C). I noticed her shivering and i closed the window but 1 hour later i noticed her nose running. My wife says that earlier in the day she took her on a walk and she was shivering too. Any advice will help. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Is she shivering because it's cold?

Because I've never heard of a parrot shivering when it's warm,

If she's shivering because she's cold, then she might have,

Ummm... "A Parrot Type of the Common Cold"

Keep her warm if she's cold, and keep her cool if she's hot or humid,

I suggest asking a Vet or so If this doesn't help,

Oh! And keep wiping her nose,

Hope this helped ;-)

i think its time 2 take her 2 a doctor. ur parrot may not b in much good shape, it sounds like a cold 2 me tho,  take some tips online nd dont wait till the last minute!!!!!!!! take care  

Answer 3

She probably needs antibiotics.You can get doxycycline for birds at the pet store - you put it in their water - or you can take the bird to the vet -which is probably a better idea. Birds can die really fast from  upper respiratory infections,so act quickly. In the meantime,keep her warm and out of drafts.

Answer 4

birds are extremely susceptible to perfumes or any thing that has a strong smell do you have any thing like that near her? if so remove her and put her in the bathroom with a humidifier until you can get her to the proper vet.  

Answer 5

One word psittacosis.  Death if you don't get it to a vet ASAP

Please do not go to the pet store and buy antibiotics.  You have no idea what is wrong with this bird.  You should never self medicate a bird or any animal.  You shouldn't even do it to yourself.
