Sick zebra

Post by awranic » Wed Aug 08, 2012 9:49 pm

I have a female zebra finch with a growth on her leg. She keeps picking at it and bleeds into her feathers. So far she doesnt do it all the time. Otherwise she is eating and acting normal. Any advice?

send pics and then we can give proper advice. In meantime apply diluted hospital grade disinfectant to the site at the rate of 2 drops to enough water to fill an egg cup. Try not to get on feathers.
