    Call around to vets in your area or look up avian vet in the yellowpages.

    Birds are fragile and require special care with medical conditions.

    Best to consult a professional.

    it is usually $60. for a vet visit at least around where I live and I’m sure it’s probably close to the same everywhere,and I’m sure he’ll go easy on you if you explain you have no money,good luck.

    a vet visit will start at about $65. Scaly face mites MUST be treated by a vet. Home remedies will not work. They are a mite that burrows in the beak and skin.

    Talk to the vets and see what they would charge. Work out a payment plan if needed.

    Scaley face mites are painful and eventually deform the beak so much that the bird starves to death.

Got something to say?
