Birds are treated in the same way as humans - with drugs of chemical origin or preparations made from medicinal herbs and plants. But since birds are very often allergic to antibiotics, it is better to treat them with more natural preparations made from plants. They can be in a more concentrated form than in nature.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a closer look, observe the pet. If a bird is healthy, it should have clean plumage tightly pressed to the body, clean, clear eyes, a good reaction to the external environment, sounds, it sings and issues calls itself, bathes a lot and with pleasure. If a bird sits on a perch on both paws with half-closed eyes and does not react to sounds, sleeps, hiding its head under its wing, even during the day, then there is cause for alarm. Other signs of the disease may be shortness of breath, mucous discharge from the nostrils, weak or, on the contrary, exorbitant appetite.
Step 2
Determine the cause of the disease. A bird can get sick from any one factor or from a combination of several, unfavorable factors include poor or inappropriate feeding, improper maintenance, and the bird can also suffer from bruises, wounds, viruses, ticks, insects, etc. All diseases can be classified by reasons of their occurrence as infectious (contagious), invasive (parasitic) and non-infectious.
Step 3
If the bird is kept indoors, then it may not have enough ultraviolet radiation. You can buy a mercury-quartz lamp from a medical store and turn it on indoors in the required "dosage", making sure that no direct light falls on the bird. Ultraviolet radiation will help increase resistance to infections and colds. Birds should be kept at a constant air temperature suitable for them. Hypothermia or overheating can lead to weakness and illness.
Step 4
If the bird has an incorrect molt, bald patches appear due to the fact that feathers fall out, and new ones do not grow - shorten the daylight hours to 9 hours and feed the bird green feed and feed containing sulfur (oatmeal, chicken egg white, cottage cheese)
Step 5
Do not overfeed birds, especially oily foods, or they may become constipated. If the bird sits down as for excrement and shakes its tail, but cannot empty the intestines in any way, put a couple of drops of vaseline oil into its beak and into the cloaca, castor oil is also suitable. If the bird, on the contrary, suffers from diarrhea, exclude green food for a while, give it rape, rapeseed or a little poppy.
Step 6
Administer medications. To prevent the bird from closing its beak, insert the stick across it before giving the medicine.
Step 7
It is not surprising that birds can also get sick with nervous diseases, for example, neuroses. This is due to prolonged exposure to traumatic factors or other diseases and infections. The bird makes the same movements along a constant trajectory and even sits in the same place. It kind of calms down, reduces the degree of nervous tension. Such a "patient" should be given an extract of Eleutherococcus, tincture of ginseng, valerian or chamomile flowers. Let her out of the cage, let's fly. If you keep her in a cage, hang a mirror, a bell or a rattle there, they will distract her from her nervous state.
Step 8
Birds can get sick with a much wider range of diseases with completely human names, in this case it is better to contact a veterinarian for qualified help.
