Pneumonia in a parrot: what to do?
- Contact your veterinarian immediately! He will prescribe the necessary antibiotics.
- Before the arrival of the veterinarian, put the parrot in a separate cage.
- The temperature in the room where the parrot is located should be at least 30 degrees. You can warm the bird with a lamp. The cage is curtained on three sides with a towel, and a 60-watt lamp is directed to the open side, located at a distance of 20 cm.
- Offer the parrot warm water. Add a decoction of chamomile to the drinker, while the water changes at least once every 12 hours, since such a solution quickly sours. You can also add vitamin (ampoule) or a few drops of lemon juice to the water, in this case the water changes daily.
- If the bird is unable to drink on its own, pour some tea into its beak.
