My lineolated parakeet makes marbley rough sounds when he breathes. He's obviously not feeling well at all.
What can I give him? I don't know of any bird vets in the area. (Fort Worth)

Re: Sick lineolated parakeet
This vet, Dr. Craig Verwers, is an avian vet. He came to the FW Bird Club meeting last year to give a talk, sounded very impressive. Several members have used him and like him.

Re: Sick lineolated parakeet
Do you hear a clicking noise when he exhales ?
If so , he most likely has air sac mites. The treatment for it is quite simple really , one-two drops of "SCATT by Vetafarm" for 3-4 weeks should clear it up.
I still suggest you take him to an avian vet just to make sure .
