Most of the time in natural conditions, parrots spend in active movement. They fly, jump, climb on boughs and branches, and in cages of such possibility they do not have. Despite care, with time, immunity weakens, and parrots have various diseases, including those dangerous to humans. Diseases of these pets can be divided into three main groups: infectious, non-contagious and invasive, that is, caused by parasites.
Non-contagious diseases
The most common non-contagious disease in parrots is pulling or dropping feathers. This phenomenon occurs due to stress, draft, severe fright, boredom, loneliness or improper feeding. If you do not take measures, then pulling the plumage will enter the parrot's habit. After a while the bird will remain without feathers, more precisely they will remain only in places to which the beak does not reach. Another reason may be parasites - scabies mites. In a neglected case, you will not be able to get rid of ticks, so at the first signs of the parrot disease, immediately complete a complete disinfection of the cell.
Dangerous to parrots and obesity. Due to abundant feeding, the bird begins to suffocate, practically does not fly, which leads to cirrhosis of the liver. The feathered birds can not reproduce. Cure parrot from obesity can be by changing the diet. It should have more fruits, fresh herbs and vegetables. In addition, the bird should often be released from the cage.
Non-infectious diseases include hampered oviposition. Due to contusion or infection of the cloaca with pathogenic bacteria, the egg can not go outside, getting stuck in the oviduct. It does not allow the bird to get rid of the litter. It accumulates, poisoning the bird with toxins. If the bird owner does not intervene, she will die due to exhaustion. The reason for the difficult laying can be the very large egg itself. It is not difficult to help a bird: in a cloaca it is necessary to introduce a few drops of oil, moisten the stomach with warm water and gently massage. Then the female will be put in a box with a soft litter. In a few hours the egg will come out. If not, you'll have to get it with tweezers.
Poisoning is a common cause of malaise in parrots. Therefore, the question of what to feed a parrot is very important. Symptoms of parrot disease in this case are very noticeable: thirst, diarrhea, drooping wings, cramps, lethargy. To clear the goiter from poor-quality food, a rubber tube is inserted into it. An inexperienced owner with this task is unlikely to cope, so it is better to trust the veterinarian.
No less often you have to deal with foot and leg diseases in parrots that arise due to mechanical damage. Closed fractures are characterized by an unnatural position of the limbs and swelling, and open fractures are also bleeding. Stop the blood with a cotton disc moistened with hydrogen peroxide, and put a tire (stick or big match) on the limb placed in a natural position, and then for 10 days a plaster bandage.
Non-contagious diseases include avitaminosis, parrot beak diseases (growth and foliation), constipation and diarrhea.
Invasion
Often with poor-quality food or with insufficient care for the cage, parrots are infected with coccidia, helminths, scabies
Since these diseases of parrots are often encountered and their treatment must be carried out immediately, buy preparations for vetaptech such as ciclizine, piperazine adipate, peretrum and insecticidal preparations for cell treatment.
Infections
The cause of diseases of the intestine, eyes and various tumors in parrots are most often infections. Osp-diphtheria, salmonellosis, paratyphoid, tuberculosis and aspergillosis are infectious diseases that can cause the death of a pet, therefore, it is impossible to treat them independently.
