Parakeet-puffed up, external constipation, dropped wings, curved keel, shortness of breath. Eats, and drinks. Is 5 yrs old. Sleeps a lot during past 2 days. did talk, but now wheezes! My vet isnt an avian vet! Suggest could be upper respiratory infection, needing antibiotics! Any help is welcomed! Thank you! Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

I recommend finding an avian veterinarian for Bubi. This could be bacterial, fungal or viral infection. Or could be some form of organ dysfunction. Aav.org may help find an avian vet in your area.
