FINCHforum

My greensinger started showing swollen belly and not that active anymore. any thoughts on what it might be nothing has changed with diet and I keep cage clean. Droppings look green but not runny.

Ohhh that does not look good... Hope it's going to be okay.

@lovezebs do you know what it is as I am clueless here.

He’s in hospital cage with a heat lamp trying to get him better. Just wish I knew what this is ?!!!!

I would recommend a trip to the Vet, if at all possible.

Here is an article which will explain different reasons for abdominal swelling.

my ob zebra was showing same symptoms , i put him under heat bulbe and the vet gives me some based sulfa drugs.

Thank you Lovezebs and Haroun yes I will be seeing a vet today hopefully they find out what is wrong with him.

My painted finch has a similar thing right now. I went to the vet and the diagnosis was some bacteria. Got Doxycycline now for a week (antibiotic) and a heat lamp in her hospital cage (it was rather cold the last days) and looks far better now. Gets back to the big flight tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for your bird!
