I purchased a Swainson’s Lory in Nov 05. It started picking its feathers and appears to have some type of parasite. We have had it to the vet several times with no cure yet. Tried Ivermectin and now Cefadrops. The bird has no feathers on his chest and left leg and now starting down his back. There are yellow scales on its neck and leg and back where the feathers used to be. Any suggestions.
