Drugs like Lupron<\/a>, Haldol<\/a>, and Prozac<\/a> were designed and tested by the FDA on humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good morning Mitch and Catherine.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have two Jenday Conures and my female (both will be 20 in July) started pulling out feathers a year ago during the breeding season now she has no feather under her wings, on her back all the way to the top on the tail feather and now on her chest.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The vet put her on Prozac but it made her sick. I read a post from another pet owner of a picker and she used Red Palm oil, Flax Oil and Hemp Oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She said the Red Palm Oil worked better. <\/span><\/p>\n

She posted a picture of her bird and the down feathers were really growing.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I trust you guys so much. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our good Avian Vet quit and the one I have to take mine to, I just don’t have a lot of trust in.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any suggestions you could give me would be so appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/span><\/p>\n
