Hello,
My 8 month old Timneh has been scrathing his neck a lot lately. Also I notice dandriff. Now he seems like he may be pulling out some down feathers under his wings.
He just got back from the vet about 2 weeks ago where they tested him for everything known to man and said he was healthy except he does have Aspergillosis, which they gave us medication for and he has been taking twice daily since.
Anyway, I figured this must be just dry skin so I started bathing him more often using the Canopy Bath Time as suggested in this forum. His dandriff seems gone now but he still seems to be pulling out some of his down feathers. No bare spots that I have noticed but he's kinda raggedy looking under his wing on one side. Is this normal for him to do?
We're kinda new at this! Thanks a lot!
