In Reply to: Egg Bound Parakeet - Need Advice posted by Shannon on April 14, 2003 at 10:33:55:

: I have a parakeet who is egg bound. I noticed this
: on Wednesday of last week and tried a few "home remedies"
: that didn't work. I took her to an avian vet on Thursday
: morning. They've injected her with Calcium shots, and anti-
: inflammatories. We've waited through the weekend and still
: no egg! The vet said the only other option would be
: to operate but they do not like to do this because the
: birds usually don't make it. I'm not sure what to do
: and would love the advice from anyone. I want to do
: everything to help my bird she is only 5 years old. My
: family thinks I should have her put to sleep and not
: spend $100 for surgery that may not work, but I don't
: know if I can make that decision. Any advice?

for canaries i use veg oil on opening a dab and put cheesecloth over a boiling pot of water and let the steam rise over the vent opening.
