Budgerigar Budgerigars's question about Vitamin A Deficiency

Question

My budgie has one swollen and little running nostril. She had also suffered from knee joint infection 6 months back which got cured by antibiotic ointment and epsom salt water.  Is this because of viatmin a deficiency? If yes what is the stage and what are the chances of recovery if I start giving carrot juice. She however eats apples and cucumber and (at times) spinach. So far she is eating on her own and behaving normally.I Pleasnormally.I am giving her turmeric and basil leaves.

Accepted Answer

If Nodo is on a balanced food mix, and has those foods as supplements, I would be surprised if she had a vitamin deficiency.  She may need antibiotics or another treatment for her little nostril - it would be a good idea to have her seen by a veterinarian who specializes in birds, as they will be able to examine her and determine what might be going on, and give her treatment.
