Question
my bird a cockatoo who is extremely sick and i gave her medicine and a heating lamp and she is still sick,what can i do for her?she is snezzing,coughing and weezing,i have no money to take her to the vet.

Answer
Hello Tammy.
I am so sorry that your friend is not feeling well.  What kind of medicine are you giving to your bird?  It sounds like you need to find a way to afford to take the bird to an Avian Vet.  It sounds like your bird has a resperitory infection, and without the necessary antibiodics it will be fatal to your bird.  See id the Avian Vet will take a post-dated check or work out a payment plan with you.

I hope your friend starts to feel better soon.

Good luck and God Bless.
