need help urgently!!!

hi, i need help urgently, i have a very sick grey and i don`t know what to do and where i live there is no vet that knows anything about them.

xena (my Grey) started breathing strangely a couple of weeks ago but persumed she was immatating me as i had a very bad flu at the time but 2 days ago her breathing got really really bad and now she is open mouthed breeding and tail bobbing and i have no idea what to do or what i can give her and as i say all the vets in my area have told me they know nothing about birds.

please help before i loose my baby girl, she is 5 by the way and i have had her since she was 4 months and have never had any problems with her.

I would travel to the nearest avian vet right away. Only they can help you with your baby. I hope she feels better.

You need to take her to a vet no matter how far away they are. We cant really help you from the web. At least make a phone call to an avian vet.

keep her warm and hydrated... that's the first thing i would do. then, find yourself a vet that knows birds - that's the only reasonable route for help, since they have to see the bird to know what's going on

I'm sorry for your loss. I would suspect Asper, with the difficulty breathing, noises made and tail bobbing. Thats the same symtoms my grey had before he became sick. should you wish to talk, feel free to pm me.
again, I am sorry.
