I suspect my 15 year old cockatiel has pbfd. I watched your other videos and he reminded me so much of that other one who also had the broken nail. At what point do you eventually euthanize the bird? I don't let my animals suffer. I think it is wonderful that we can give them the gift of not having to suffer until their last breath. It's just harder to judge the quality of life in a bird than say, a dog, in my opinion. I don't think my bird is anywhere near that point yet, but it has gotten me

@AllAmericanAgility @AllAmericanAgility Most birds seem capable of leaving their bodies very quickly and easily when their time is up. You could consider learning animal communication or using an animal communicator as a go between.

@DoctorRossPerry If you are interested in trialing a potential answer to PBFD with me using essential oils please complete the questionaire photo and skype and other requirments for remote evlaluation discussion at Gold Coast Bird Vet (one word GCBV) dotcom and if your bird evaluates positive for PBFD i will share insights on the oils etc .

My cockatiel won't stop scratching itself and the area it scratches is red and bleeds when it scratches. Not sure what it is? What should I do? This started happening this morning.

can this stress them

[DoctorRossPerry]

@leos4life21 It could but then visiting the doctor the dentist and a hospital is also stressful, I minimise or eliminate the stress by calming as many birds as I can. Dr Ross Perry

@hulk90000 there is a vetafarm forumulation that can be put in drinking water in glass container fresh daily for 10 days.It needs to be combined with daily elbow grease.. thorough removal of all old droppings each day to stop reinfection and resistance.
