Male Gouldian with dropped wings

Post by athens.asad » Wed Aug 17, 2016 1:12 pm

Dear Experts,
My male gouldian was very active & always singing.For last couple of days we had heavy rains & the male prefers to sleep outside unlike the female who sleeps in the nest. I am sure the male didn't get wet but had to face the wind.
Now the male is lazy ,with dropped wings & sleeping most times . I am feeling bad for the bird .
The bird is eating but not the same . I am sure something is wrong . What to do & which medicine to give. The poop seems to be normal .

Thanks

I wouldn't give him antibiotics unless you know what is wrong with him.

My local breeder asked me to give Terramycin 250 mg.

Dear All,

I am afraid my male Gouldian is not improving. His health is the same and degrading .The symptoms are dropped wings and I could notice some bird dropping to the anus as you can see [album][/album].I am not sure what has happened . It was a beautiful and active bird last week . I don't want to lose him.please suggest some medicine . Shall I give Terramycin , I have bought them already. :cry:[album][/album]
