Good night, one of my budgies has been laying eggs like crazy but they destroy them as soon as they plop out . But recently, it appears the insides of this little tyke (the green one) is popping right out. I can't get a good picture but I'll post up here what I've taken. The bird is about 4 to 5 years of age. Let me know what you think.

Do you have an avian vet? Does it look like an egg that won't come out, or part of her internal organ(s)? In either of those cases, an avian vet would be needed asap. The staff can give you more advice, but while waiting for replies here try to get her medical care.

No avian vet here. It really doesn't appear to be another egg but the internal organ. It doesn't look good for that little tyke.

This is a prolapse and is considered an emergency, and needs treatment asap, this is a result of constant egg laying. If you cannot find a vet she will die, try contacting a wildlife rehab/rescue facility or a zoo, there may be someone there that can assist, or find an exotic vet.

I'm afraid those links show avion vets hundreds of miles from here. What would an avion vet do if I could get her to one?

 

[Cody]

They would assess the severity of the prolapse and clean and reinsert the tissue and if needed put in a stitch or 2 to hold things in place, give her pain meds, anti inflammatory meds, antibiotics, calcium, perhaps fluid under the skin if she is dehydrated and possibly tube feeding. This is very serious, please do you best to get her some help. Maybe if you contacted someone at this link they could refer you somewhere Home | Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association

Ok, thank you so much for your advice!

 

[Cody]

Call any vet and ask if they can refer you to someone, you never know who they may know that could help.

The purpose of this forum is to promote the BEST PRACTICES in the care of budgies for their optimal Health and Well-Being
Locating an Avian Veterinarian

Avian Vets have special training to determine the cause of symptoms resulting from illness or trauma.
This is important as "regular" vets will often overlook symptoms that are quickly obvious to an Avian Vet.
When you rely on anyone who has not had training in Avian diagnosis and care, you may be delaying effective treatment.
This can prolong suffering that may be avoidable.
The bird will often require a more intense, prolonged treatment with a poorer chance of full recovery than it would have if you seek prompt professional diagnosis and treatment at the first sign of illness.
If there are no Avian Vets near you, please find an Exotic Pet Veterinarian with experience in dealing with small birds.

If you have mixed genders, it is very important to do everything necessary to prevent breeding.
Budgies are much healthier and happier when they are never bred.

I'm still attempting to get old of a bird vet but it's not looking promising. In the list above, it says, "If you have mixed genders, it is very important to do everything necessary to prevent breeding."
My question is: how would one go about doing that other than keeping two birds in two different cages? I've got to say, I've never heard that one before.

Greetings,
I talked with an Avian Vet's assistant today and she called me back shortly thereafter. The Vet says there is zero they can do in a case such as this. I had also mentioned to her that the bird appears to be trying to swallow something and keeps bobbing his head in and out consistently. I feel there's a tumor there.
Right or wrong, good or bad, the next nearest Avian Vet is hours away from here, so with much lamenting and weeping, I have to say, this little tyke will no doubt perish.
She flew out of the cage tonight but couldn't get back on her own. There was streaks of blood over the floor where she was fluttering about.
I thought I should at least report back and let ya's all know how things are going down.

 

[Cody]

So sorry, thank you for updating.

So sorry, thank you for updating.

Thank you for that and thank you for the efforts put forth on this forum. Much appreciated!

 

[FaeryBee]

Are you going to have them help her move on to the Rainbow Bridge?
That would be the kindest thing you could do under the circumstances.
You have my deepest sympathy.

Right now, the little tyke is flipping around in the cage as though normal but we both know the final outcome. Not sure if I have the heart to put it down right yet. If she were squawking in pain, I'll have no choice.

 

[FaeryBee]

Keep in mind that budgies are prey animals and, as such, do everything possible to hide their pain.

Thanks for your note. The wee bird is still eating and drinking although weak and puffed up. The inevitable will take place of course but right now, she's still with us.
