Budgie vent issue? Potential prolapse

[Hezz]

This photo shows that there is something on your budgie’s vent. Either a cyst or partial prolapse, perhaps. I can’t increase the size of the image enough to see clearly. I would suggest you get her to an avian vet if possible, as a prolapse can be a very dangerous thing.

Unfortunately there seems to have been an “update” done on my tablet which is not allowing me to produce full-sized photos.

I noticed yesterday that my budgie seems to have a lot of feathers missing around her vent (butthole area) and I am not sure if she is sick, which seems to be what most people point too. Her behavior hasn't changed the last few days in comparison to when I got her, she's usually a quite and sleepy bird. If anything yesterday she was more excited and happy as she was flying too me, and she's a very shy and timid bird since I adopted her and this was the first time. She would even come to my hand while I was typing at my desk. All this to say, the past few weeks she's been if anything more active and coming out of her cage and flying on her own. This is a big deal since she hasn't wanted too since I've gotten her. That is why I do not think she is sick.



Therefore, I was thinking either that she has an egg that she wants to lay, or possible that she has some poop stuck to her butt that she is trying to get rid of but I am not sure. I have pictures and a video that shows the issue pretty clear. I am going to get an appointment tomorrow at the vet regardless.  You can see really clear in the video around .13 seconds.

I wanted to remake it. There was some blood in her stool but I went to the emergency vet and they gave her some antibiotics but said she seems okay for now. I have a vet appointment in 2 weeks and I will monitor her for now. The real issue is the antibiotics are so difficult to administer.
