Gouldian sneezing

Hello

I have a male Gouldian Finch who is constantly sneezing. He seems to breath with his mouth open.

I am new to keeping Finches, I only have the one pair of Gouldians, so I haven't seen this before. I am thinking it might be air sac mites? Any advice on this? I am not sure if I should take him to a vet or is there a simple cure I can buy.

Thanks

Where are you from? Brisbane

Re: Gouldian sneezing

Hi

If you would like to treat the bird for air sac mite yourself there are a few alternatives.

You can read suggestions on this page.
