Hi we have 8 budgies indoors in a large cage. One had been ill since yesterday. She’s fluffed up, not eating much, closing eyes and breathing heavily. Looks like her vent may be slightly blocked. Will clean her vent any other suggestions? X

She sounds very ill. I'd take her to see an avian vet as soon as possible.

Till the time you get a vet appointment, you could transfer her to a smaller cage and keep her warm..

After a very expensive trip to the vets (bank holiday rates 😱) we came away with baytril and some loxicom antibiotics. They think she has a lung infection. Fingers crossed after few days she will be better! 🤞🏻

Hopefully the meds will perk her up quickly.

Poor little girl! I hope the meds act quickly. In the meantime keep her separate from the others but where she can see them so she doesn't stress out too much by being separate.

Well done on getting her to the vet quickly. Let's hope it clears up soon.

Well done for getting her in to see a vet today. I think it’s naughty they charge extra for bank holidays when someone is always on call 24/7 anyway. Really wishing her a speedy recovery.

I know it’s awful they can charge so much but at least they are there 😊. She’s still the same today. She’s still in her separate cage just so she can rest without being moved by 7 others all the time! Ah I forgot to say her name - she’s called Lemon!

Aww Lemon is a sweet name. Hope she’s soon feeling back to herself.
