Hi, we have a female budgie 6yo. Tail feathers stopped growing back more than 6 months ago so can't fly but otherwise seemed happy and healthy. Now i see a big problem with her vent. I will take her to the vet again but they are not specialists so Any advice is appreciated  |

Where do you live?
It really does need someone that knows what they are doing to look at it.

Where do you live? It really does need someone that knows what they are doing to look at it. We're in Ireland but nowhere near Bray, Dublin etc. The vet we took her to was very good. It seems that a lot of what we were looking at was an infection. She drained and cleaned it and gave us an antibiotic. What caused it might be another question but we probably have to give it a week to see how it goes. |

I’m glad you have seen a vet about this, it does not look good. She may need more than one round of antibiotics so don’t hesitate to take her back to be re-evaluated once the AB’s are finished.

I'm also very glad your budgie saw a vet. I hope the treatment helps.
I couldn't work out what was going on with her by your photo, but it does look quite bad.
