Question:

Plastic Tube stuck in Parrot's throat?

Okay this is a really horrifying scenario and I'm panicking. I have two 6 weeks old baby alexandarine parrots. I feed them by hand through a syringe. I attach a small rubber tube at the end of the syringe and feed them slowly. However as I was just feeding one, the tube got loose and is now stuck in the parrot's throat. I'm very worried. I can't go to a vet as there is no avian vet in our area. What should I do? Please Please help!! I'll be really thankful.

Answer:

Go to your reg vet they can help you other wise the birds little throat may get to dry from having the mouth open all the time.
Go to a regular vet. Though they are not bird-specific, it is still a better chance than trying to remove it yourself and risk damaging their esophagus. Hopefully it's not too late. Please at least call a vet; if you can't go to them, it's possible they can at least tell you how to safely remove the tube.
