Fluffed Up and Sleeping

[marnie]

Hi, I’m new here but have a sick budgie. Snowy is sleeping all the time, all fluffed up, he doesn’t appear to be eating, just has a drink and back to sleep. His vent seems very red and inflamed.
What is this? I think he needs to see a vet.

I really think he needs to see a vet too, preferably an Avian vet. 

I don't know where you live as you have not added this to your profile, if under the present circumstances you can't visit the vet, you could maybe phone for a consultation and arrange some way for him to be seen.

Thank you. I’m in England, West Midlands. I can get to a vet but they say I need an “exotic vet” and he’s not there until Monday. They take him in and I gave to stay in the car. I will take Snowy in, he’s still sleeping mostly which can’t be right.

Thanks again.

Good luck with the vet. It certainly sounds as though he needs professional help, poor little boy.

Meantime, keep him warm.
