Hey there, I got a blue male from a friend. She just got him in Oct....he was healthy and with babies. When she got here with him He is now balding, heard a little clicking out of him at lights out, his beak had grown crossed at tip, he has balded around his chin up through his ears. I have had him here about three weeks. Since then I trimmed his beak, scatted him 12 days ago, started him on Baytril 4 days ago....gonna do a round of Ronivet 12% on everyone. Then I will use some bene-bac. Sounds like alot, however I chose this route because shortly after I got him she started having problems with her birds including 6 deaths. She took 4 to the vet, (bought some societites from a really poor source at a fair)..He really is acting and eating very normally. He has never acted down at all I just know I think he has asm and possibally has been exposed to something else not so nice. I don't want to send him back to her because he was the original mate to my female that just raised a clutch alone with another male...he came from there and died 3 days after babies hatched. (may have seen the post)Momma and babies are fantastic. I have them on Ronivet 12% right now as caution. I also Have gotten some Iodine to start giving them. I planned this treatment out carefully after hours of reading...then I joined this forum! So does this sound reasonable, also He chirps fine, but when he sings no sound comes out. I will get a pic of him here in a while and put it up so you can assess him if you like!

Pictures please and sounds horrible..i hope he gets better. Could he be molting? And sounds like ASM I would do a round of scatt again or try S76, you never know if the parasites can become immune to a treatment

Sorry the previous post was so long just thought all the info could be helpful, Here is the blue...once again camera phone quality diminishes when I cropped photo, the picture actually makes him look rougher than he does.But you can get the general idea of his balding. he does have a few pin feathers coming in. Hopefully here,on a good diet and some tlc he will be back to where he was in Oct.A beautiful bird with very nice babies.

The info did help no worries. Keep doing what your doing, it seems to be working! Also, try another ASM treatmemt, may help with his clicking

I am going to scat him again in two days....that will be 3 weeks between scatting..also he does not click anymore since I scatted him, no voice back yet for singing.just chirps, doesn't sound raspy very clear. I think he will respond to the treatment. We will see how it goes.

scatted him 12 days ago

Scatt stays in the birds system for 21 days so I wouldnt scatt him again till after 21 days if you feel you need to, you dont want to overdose him.

o.k. you are right and I know that, I have it marked on calendar....let me check...It was january 10th...so the 31st will be 21 days. I was probably guesstimating at the post where I said 12 days. Thanks for lookin' out for me. I can be scatter brained. I have 15 babies right now and 3 still to hatch....of various species.
