Post: Scab on head Head?Posted by Heather & Skittailz on 7/31/07
It's been a long time since I've been on this board, but I
do need some help if any can offer it. Skittailz has been
molting a lot, many of her feathers never come out of the
sheathing, so I help with that by giving her a bath and
then breaking the sheathing down w/ my finger nails. I
had noticed her feathers on her head were standing almsot
erect...I for the past week thought she was just in a bad
mood and fluffing up. I had not taken her out of her cage
for a few days (work, new puppy, etc), I just took her out
and she has this large white scabbything on her head. It
truly looks like a scab but it's 100% white. I tried
breaking it off as it's not attached to her scalp, but
rather her fethers. She got mad so I stopped. Does
anybody know what this could be...shoudl I be overly
concerned and run her to the vet or shoudl I just watch
it? She's eating normal, she has normal poops, everything
abou ther seems fine, she's active talks all the time
etc.
