Pneumonia in a parrot: what to do?

1. Contact your veterinarian immediately! He will prescribe the necessary antibiotics.
2. Before the arrival of the veterinarian, put the parrot in a separate cage.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. If the bird is unable to drink on its own, pour some tea into its beak.
