Hi,

I'm new to this forum, i own a ring neck since 09 Feb 2014, she was 30 days old when i bought her.
All these days she was fine, we use to feed her health mix powder through syringe from beginning days, but today i noticed when i fed her the mix through syringe , it comes out through her neck, i.e. think there is a hole, it flows out through that what ever i feed her through syringe ( i mean liquid food). I didn't see any blood coming through it, I'm scared, and worried. don't know what i should do. i feed her the mix when it is warm.

Somebody help me with your suggestions, what should i do... I'm worried.


Thanks,
Rajan

Please take your bird to an vet, preferably an avian or exotics specialist!

It sounds like you may of pushed the syringe through the crop wall.
Urgent Avian Vet ASAP.
I hope something can be done if this is the case.
Fingers crossed, I am wrong.

Wow I'm not expert but I would most definitely get that bird to a vet or you are going to end up with a much bigger problem .

wow this is... ugh...

okay.. how has this turned out?.. and are you supposed to put a syringe down their throats that far?

I have no experience with this but I would imagine not going any further than the back of the tongue. (that's a totally uneducated random guess)
