Question

Hey my parrot has a swollen foot and it can't stand in that swollen leg and I saw some blood stain (stain is in red colour I'm not sure it is blood) what should I do now? My parrot is not letting me to touch the swollen leg. I think it has pain in it. Pls consult me with causes and remedies to cure my parrot. I can't bear to see him like this.

It sounds like your bird may have bumblefoot, or an infection of the foot which can cause oozing of debris, pus, blood, etc. Other possible causes can include a sprain or break to the foot. If you see a visible wound, you can try soaking the foot in epsom salts and then using an antiseptic like blu-kote, however if it is badly infected or broken this is something that needs to be seen by a veterinarian immediately as severe infections can make a bird ill very quickly and potentially lead to death. Until you can get to your vet, keeping Sunapana warm and in a hospital cage without perches and with food and water dishes that are easy to is best.
