My old bird is sick. Is it safe to wait for her vet appointment?

I am sorry burg is not feeling well. Birds are able to hide illness very well. Also when they do become ill it is important to seek medical help right away. I would recommend taking burg to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Also try and keep her handling and traveling as calm as possible. Stress is not good for sucks birds. Hope she feels better soon.

I am so sorry to hear about Birdy. Any time that a bird is on the bottom of the cage it is concerning, and especially if she is not moving and having trouble breathing. Birdy needs to go to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They will provide her with oxygen, heat support, and may administer medications to her. Birds that are as sick as Birdy sounds are in critical condition, and unfortunately may not do well with handling. This can cause them to pass away suddenly with very minimal stress - I am not saying that this will happen to Birdy, but it is a potential, so I want to try to prepare you for that. I am so sorry that this is happening, and I hope that you are able to get her into a veterinarian very soon.

Rosie is probably very ill, but unfortunately i couldn't tell you what is wrong based on these very general symptoms, which is often the case with birds you will need to take her to an avian vet where a blood test and faecal exam will be done to determine what is the cause of the disease before it can be treated. i would not recommend taking her to a vet that is not an avian specialist, they are not likely to be able to help and will probably end up referring you anyway, try to look on the internet where is the closest avian vet specialist and give them a call, they will tell you to bring her as soon as you can.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do from home without veterinary care if she is already showing signs of illness. However there are some things that may help make her more comfortable to hopefully make it until your vet appointment. Keeping her in a small hospital cage that is kept warm can help with body temperature regulation. Perches should be low to the ground or removed completely, and soft bedding placed at the bottom of the cage in case she falls. Having food and water (if she is still eating on her own) in shallow dishes she can get in and out of even if weak is best. If she's not eating or drinking, you may need to make a slurry of baby bird food and water and drop feed it to her to help keep her energy up. Otherwise, monitoring her and any changes in her symptoms can help when your vet is able to see her.

If you believe your bird is dying, seek veterinary attention immediately. Take Woodchip to your veterinarian or to the nearest veterinary ER. Keep her warm and as stress free as possible. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do without a physical exam.

Those are all very general signs of illness in a bird. It would be a good idea to get Blue to a vet as soon as possible to try and determine what may be causing his symptoms. Until you can get to your vet, keeping him in a warm hospital cage with low/no perches and food and water that is easy to get in and out of may help.
