Hi everyone it's been a sad day for me, Heart ache one of my owl finches that I got from the pet store passed away this evening, and I am not so sure what from any Idea's?

The symptoms she had were minimal. It seemed she was lethargic, weak and unable to balance on her perch and she was freaking out on the bottom of the cage. Like I said she didn't have many symptoms her bowell movements seemed normal but her vent was dirty with yellowish feces anyone have any idea's? I know it's not campylobacter.

Thanks for all your help

A dirty yellow vent can mean cochlosoma/canker, campylobacter and/or protozoan infection.
