My budgie is trying to throw up and choking. What should I do?

Question

My female budgie (her color is green) looks very sick. She looks like that she is trying throw up but cant. She acts like she is throwing up, but then the food doesn't come out so she rapidly shakes herself, scratches, and rubs her face against something. Today she was making little squeaks like she was choking. This has been happening once every week for about 3 months. We dont have a vet nearby that I could go to. Please help.

Thanks for reaching out about Zap and including a picture. Regurgitation is common with birds who have ingested something toxic or causing a partial or complete obstruction. Metablic diseases such as renal or hepatic diseases can also cause regurgitation. Crop infections (bacterial, yeast or fungal) can make them nauseous. These small birds can not go too long without digesting food. Unfortunately there is little that can be done at home,, so finding a veterinarian with avian experience. By the map, you're not too far from Tacoma, but might have to travel to Seattle for a veterinarian. Good luck.
