Finch pasty vent blocked

[Raven11]

Is this an avian vet? Or a small animal vet?

The avian vet here has retired, I have spent weeks trying to find one closer and, in fact, I may have done just that although it is quite far away and I don't drive. The vet I saw was not an avian vet, she is a small animal vet.

Raven11 hope goes well for you what ever you try for the bird
Bengo's are $5 to $10 each here in Australia but it is up to the person how much you would spend on trying to keep it alive or infections it could have to pass on to your other birds so if it continues to show symptoms then the kindess thing would be to put it down.

Thank you, Psittacosis is something that I am worried about, however, I thought the urine was usually green rather than yellow? my birds are my pets in the same way people have cats and dogs so... I have spent hundreds on a "free bird" more than once. the question is though, no new birds, my birds have not been exposed to any other birds, they all lived together in an aviary so if one has it, they all do... where could it have come from?
I get paid next week, I will order a lab test for her and see what comes up, if nothing else it will put my mind at rest and give the others a clean bill of health too as they all lived together. Currently shes in a hospital cage separated from the others. (in my kitchen) as she is ill, I do all the other birds (currently in my living room!) first and then she gets tended to last. everything is cleaned well, I use F10 on everything, it gets sterilized with Milton, washed with dish soap and hot water, and then a spray of F10 which I allow to sit then wipe off (if its on their food bowls or water tubes otherwise its left to air dry).

I am not going to lie, im a little nervous here.. if it is that.

Fb when I looked at the pics again I am leaning towards psittacosis as I had a hen bluecap with the same sort of droppings in fact I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks diagnosed with psittacosis that nobody wants to experience. Over a week on doxicycline infusion.
I could be wrong but I don't take chances anymore but I don't want to scare people either.

Interesting.. I cleaned the cages this morning, changed the food to plain seed and put a small bit of millet in. I cleaned her vent this morning, chrecked her throughout the day, and just went to get a drink snd check she was still clear and able to poop. She was still clear round her vent. She pooped in front of me dand this is what came out. Pic taken seconds later.

I am hopeless with diagnostics. But hope that all goes well for you and the little one.
