My bird has PDD symptoms and is ill. What should I do right now?

Question

My bird has all the symptoms of PDD what should I do? How did she get this? I bought her as a 4 month old at a pet store in downtown LA... I don't have a vet for her since I've never gone through this. She's standing still with her eyes closed right now she moves only when necessary if I pet her.

It is important to have Pina examined by an experienced avian veterinarian as soon as possible. Rule out other, possibly treatable, causes for her condition. This will require a physical exam and possibly bloodwork, xrays and a fecal examination. There isn't a reliable test for PDD, so it is usually a diagnosis of exclusion. Unfortunately, the prognosis can be poor for birds infected with PDD. Treatment is largely supportive and may include anti inflammatories, supplemental heat, a stress free environment, isolation from other birds and a special diet that is easily digestible.
