my female budgies vent looks swollen, it is brown and does not look good. The pet barn gave me some advice to try a broad spectrum antibiotic which I have done and into the second day. She is eating normal, she seems happy except for her problem. The vets around my area do not know enough about birds, in fact they killed my last budgie by giving it 2 injections and charging me $85. I am a pensioner and cannot afford these prices especially when the bird dies as a result from treatment. My friend took her budgie to the vet last week and her bird ended up with a pulled muscle in its wing from being held wrongly. all they did was clipped the wings and nails, I could have done a better job. My budgie keeps scratching and picking the area from time to time. Can anyone suggest anything I can try please? thank you. Sandra
