Help with Canary

Hi there.

I have a canary, Elvis, it's a girl, thought it was a boy at first, my cat had brought it in in it's mouth and we just kept it. I've had Elvis for about 3 or 4 years and she's my baby. I've just noticed a few days ago that she has a rather large lump that looks to be filled with a liquid of some sort and i'm at a complete loss at what to do. Upon closer inspection i've noticed the liquid or whatever this is is also on her underside. She always has clean fresh water, fresh fruits and a clean cage. I live by myself and sadly unable to afford a trip to the vet. I've been searching the internet for awhile now, I was told that it could be a blockage of some sort cause she isn't getting enough vitamin A, so i've been using egg food on top of her normal food.

If anybody can help at all it would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Help with Canary

Your canary lived the worse experience of his life, to rescue from death!
Already you should be happy because his heart didn't explode!
Next time, pay attention to cats...

Meanwhile about your canary, it needs to disinfect the pustule with iodine.
This could not be enought, because an infection could be running... then you need to call veterinary or hope in its forcefulness.
As mild antibiotic you could feed crushed garlic in water (leave to marinate a whole crunched clove in a quart of water) feed for 2 weeks...

Good luck.
Nick
