Dr. Rob I have a colony of English Budgies that I am having trouble with. Two of them started having very dirty vents. Dark green sticking to their feathers. It stayed the two for a long time and now the rest have it. I treated them with one day of Worm Away, followed by five days of Amoxitex, followed by seven days of Ronex, and then three days of probiotics. They actually seem to be worse. They do not loose weight or even act sick (fluffed up), but they do seem to be constantly growing new feathers. I have a lot of other birds from finches to macaws and do not have problems with them. Do you have any idea of what is going on? Your advice would be greatly appreciated
