hello,
I have a male gouldian approximately 2 years old that has the following symptoms -

opens mouth like something in his throat
rubs beak on perch
stretches neck
slight, slight clicking noise

I treated him (and his mate) with scatt a few weeks ago because I heard some slight clicking. However, the past few days he's been sleeping quite a bit, which is uncharacteristic for him.

He seems to be eating and drinking fine, is not fluffed up and does make his rounds around the cage - just not as much.

Any ideas and/or treatment suggestions?

thanks,
mike

You should try treating him again, b/c that sounds like air sac mites..

I agree with Emily - you can treat a second time with Scatt (I think after 21 days?). If it's mites, that would take care of it.

Love your new picture Hilary!

Thanks Emily!

Mike, how is your gould doing?
