sparrow's question about Blocked Gizzard

Question

The area below the vent is swollen for a baby sparrow, and no fecal matter was discharged for 2 days after consuming a fly. Is this a blocked gizzard ?and how can it be treated at home because I am unable to afford a vet, please help the baby looks very sick and inactive and doesnt chirp anymore

Accepted Answer

Whilst I understand that you may not be able to afford a Veterinarian, sometimes there isn’t an at home solution; without examining Kiwi I cannot say whether there is a blocked gizzard, an infection, parasites or another cause. You should visit a Veterinarian regardless of cost to at least get a diagnosis. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
