Health issue of my golden finches

[sindhusan1]

Hi friends,
It is very sad to see all my little goddies dying with no reason. I change there food and water regularly. Their cage is also clean. But still I lost a female golden finches 2 weeks back following by it, its pair male bird died. Now there is one another female golden finches that looks sick.

1st they become puffy, then they sit down on the cage, then they avoid taking food or water, then they develop some kind strange portion at their back and die.

I want to know the reason for these kinds of sickness.

Please do help me with the correct medication to save my existing goddies

The photo is the initial stage of sickness. Please help me save her.

The first thing I would suggest is you removing her and putting her into a hospital cage. A hospital cage is a smaller cage with a heat lamp that you can keep her warm with. You can run a search on the forum for more information on how to set one up but what I do is, I have a small travel cage that I put a small towel on the bottom. I also put a small saucer or cup of water, along with some seed in there with her. I place a light on the top of the cage off to one side, and wrap another towel on 3 sides of the cage. Keep an eye on her for any improvement.

Isolate her in a hospital cage with a heat lamp like Puglover mentioned above and treat her with Scatt, this will help her alot if shes suffering from Air sac mites. Monitor her for 3 days and see if there's any improvement; if not treat her for 5 days with ronivet S 15%, this will help her with protozian infections and has very safe margins. if i were you I will seperate societies from gouldians as they can carry bacteria that won't do any good to gouldian finches and always add vitamins to their water or food. Hope this helps and good luck.

How long have you had them? Where did you get them from? good breeder? Mine are from bad breeder.

then they develop some kind strange portion at their back and die.

Can you explain what you mean about their backs?

I would remove her too, and put a heat lamp on her cage or a desk lamp for now.

I also see they are with societies. Do you know if they are clean? Some of them can carry diseases, and can kill the more exotic finches.

Do you have any medication on you?

What are all the symptoms the bird is exibiting. Be as descriptive as possible for people to be able to help.

Have you checked what her droppings look like etc.
