Yep stick with the breeders .

Sales are good but you need to have the experience to notice old , shonky birds where as a breeder has a rep to maintain and most will do the right thing by you .

This is the new guys feet ,,,, any ideas how i can treat this ?>???
the Canary is still taking like a seizure I've given it some spark put him in a quiet dark place i think hes going to die though almost 2 hours or something no change

It was by no means a matter of trying to stick the breeder More a matter of looking for help as to how i can fix the issue .... and that little dig after 3 hours of having a bird convulsing in my hands wasn't really required ... I'm wanting help in how to fix them if they were sick when i got them they were sick ... they didnt get sick in a hour! .....
Yes i should have noticed the feet! ..... But i didn't so thats on me ,,,, but the animals shouldn't be left to suffer!

Sorry I do apologies i just reread your post and it would seem you weren't trying to have a go at me ... i just feel a bit deflated right now this canary was quite happy singing as soon as put in the cage then within minutes it was having like a seizure still not stopped .... I've given it some spark but i don't think it will do any good jerking so much it cant even perch

Settle petal I wasnt having a go at you .

Seriously , wont be bothered again

cool thanks for that .... and for being so understanding

jusdeb's post was in agreement with your earlier post, not the way you took it and not an attack on you at all, I suggest later when you calm down you reread her post.

Now back to your birds The Canary still sounds like shock (The most common cause of death in transported birds) and the finch looking at the photo's it looks more like lesions having not known the history of the birds First is an antiseptic cream on the feet and leave them get over the shock of all that's happened. No point in fixing the birds feet if Coccidiosis sets in from being stressed.

And i'm very sorry for my mistake .... the feet i can treat ... its this canary I'm insure what to do i have it in a box with a towel under it as it was bashing itself against the side the transport box .... and have given spark .... BUT at the moment its jerking and such so much it wont be able to eat

You said the canary was singing when you got it home? You then washed their feet, clipped their nails and finally gave them some wormer.
Did you dilute the Ivomectin to the recommended dose? Sadly it might simply of succumbed to the treatments.
Whatever the cause I sympathise with you problems. Hopefully they will all recover.

No i soaked the gouldians feet .... the canary was already doing this when i put one drop behind its head that had been Diluted down to a finches rate ....
