A few days ago the bird bumped its leg but could still walk; I sprayed Yunnan Baiyao, but since yesterday around 6 pm its beak and under-wings feel warm compared to other birds; energy is okay, eats and drinks, but drinks less. Everything else normal — is it sick?
A bird's warm beak may be caused by a fever. A fever can raise the bird's body temperature, making its beak and feet relatively hot. Since the bird also has an external injury, consider whether the wound became infected and inflamed. It is recommended to clean and disinfect the wound carefully, then use Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding and avoid infection. At the same time, keep the cage and aviary clean and give the bird a quiet, warm environment with enough time to rest and recover. If the bird keeps running a fever, consider giving it antibiotics or other anti-infection medicine, but control the dosage carefully.
Could there be a problem after falling from about 1 meter? It eats and walks fine but is a bit scared, jumps at small movements—it wasn’t like this before; after a while it looked a bit better. Is there a problem?
Hamsters are small with fine bones; a 1m fall can fracture, even internal bleeding. Timid ones may be frightened or pass out. If no obvious abnormality, rest in cage, avoid strenuous activity, add nutrition, see if it recovers. If obvious abnormalities, see vet.
How do I raise a myna bird?
For a beginner: use a large, ventilated, bright (no direct sun) cage; feed varied commercial feed, grains, seeds, veggies, fruit, egg yolk, and lean meat on a schedule with clean water; clean the cage often; watch for illness.
How should I hold a chinchilla?
If newly home, don't grab it—chinchillas are timid and may bite/flee. Feed it, let it learn your voice/scent, then gently pet; if no nervous reaction, try lifting. Support abdomen with one hand, rump/hind legs with the other; move abdomen to your arm, palm under hind legs, other hand strokes the back for security. Watch reactions; if stressed, stop and return to cage.
My hamster has redness and swelling around its eyes
Many causes: eye infection, eye parasites, allergy. Keep the habitat clean (cage, food, water), use low-dust bedding. Clean eyes gently with a warm wet cotton ball, then apply anti-inflammatory eye drops/ointment; watch for improvement.
My rabbit usually sheds heavily, and today I found a large clump of fur missing on the inside of its thigh.
Hair loss can be infection, parasites, or another rabbit's bite. Check the wound; clean bacterial cases with saline and spray, and deworm for parasites.
My cockatiel has white stuff growing that comes back after I wipe it. What should I do?
The picture is unclear, but if it looks like pus it may be an eye infection; rinse with saline and apply pet antibiotic drops or erythromycin/aureomycin ointment, keep the cage clean, and isolate other birds.
My cat has a fracture – doctor, is it serious? About how much would treatment cost?
From the X-ray, the cat has a metacarpal fracture with some displacement, needing prompt internal fixation that usually costs about 2000 to 3000 yuan. Without surgery it will likely limp. After surgery restrict activity strictly, ideally caged, to protect healing.
What does a hungry parrot chick do?
A hungry chick gives loud, urgent, continuous calls and opens its mouth in a begging pose, swinging its head; extreme hunger leads to eating odd things, self-harm, or attacking mates, and long starvation causes weakness and dehydration.
I fed some apple recently along with normal hamster food; this started yesterday. Today he’s energetic — is it wet tail, or a stomach issue?
From your description, the golden hamster very likely has wet tail. Weaning, environment change, diet upset, a dirty cage, or overcrowding can cause it. First control water intake and keep food fresh and the environment good; if no improvement, use gentamicin, probiotics, and antidiarrheal medication.
