Dusky Conure Problem

by David Neaves
(South Africa)

hi there, please can you try and help us? our dusky conure murray has been bitting his leg continually until it bleeds. He has a small bump on his wing that he does not chew at but he wont leave his leg alone. we have taken him to a vet and he has recieved two courses of antibiotics, no difference. we give him parrot tonic and treat his leg with antibiotic cream. he is very weak in the mornings but seems to get better during the day. we dont know what to do! please help we love him very much. thank you.
