Hi everyone.
I have had this Texas x red parrot for a couple of years now and for as long as I have known he would always develop red swellings that would later ulcerate. The ulcers remain for 1-2 months before they heal over by which time ulcers would have developed elsewhere.
They form in the fins, abdomen, chin area under the mouth and mainly along the base of the dorsal fin/spines.
He eats well and is generally active otherwise.
Please see attached pics. All white areas on the fish were once areas of ulceration. Not the scales are getting raised just under that large ulcer.
Wondering if there is anything I can do or is it time to put him down?
Thanks for any help.
John.
