Why is there pus coming out of my big toe?
You have an ingrowing toe nail. Usually antibiotics are of little use as it is more of a foreign body reaction such as a splinter. The treatment is removal of the offending border. Bathroom surgery is NOT recommended. Go to a podiatrist or a good family practice doc. For proper care. In the mean time warm salt water soaks are good relief.

I think my budgie is dying.. HELP!?
So i had 2 parakeets before, one male and one female. About a month ago the girl died and i had gotten her after the boy. I got the boy as a baby about 6 years ago. I figured maybe it was old age and thought he was going to die. I sort of just came to terms with it and expected I'd be burying him by the end of the day. However, he is still living and decided to look further into it all and noticed that he clutches his feet and he can't walk because of it (the bottom of the bird cage isn't solid it has bars going horizonal for the poop to drop down into a removable tray). I noticed he plucks a significant amount of feathers from his but and it's red and swollen. His poop is a bit watery and bigger than usual, i noticed a water mark around his poop when it dries, which far as I've ever seen is unual. His poop is green, dries black, no blood or anything. I have him a bath and noticed he plucked more feathers around his wings and neck so there's some bald looking spots. Quite frankly I'm getting sentimental at the thought of him dying because he's outlived two other birds I've owned. I assume he's sick but what could it be? Unfortunately I don't have spare money to take him to a vet and fear they'll just tell me it's old age and there's nothing they can do about it. Anywho, does anyone have an idea of what may be wrong? I added links to show you how he looks. oh fyi, i gave him the bath and all the poop came off but it's all red still. i heard if they have mites their cere gets crusty, is that true? http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/_A7X01_/photo_zps15371425.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/_A7X01_/2_zps20667515.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/_A7X01_/VENT_zpse76e9e5e.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/_A7X01_/3_zps310a2d02.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/_A7X01_/4_zps90a685e0.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/_A7X01_/5_zpsf754dd1f.jpg
Have you been able to get rid of toe nail fungus without prescription medication?
This might sound strange---but it does work!! After doing some research for my own nail infection I have found the following to be very effective..... Rub Vicks ointment or Mentholatum on the infected nail. Wrap the nail with either a very secure band-aid or a piece of duct tape. Leave the nail covered over night. (forgot to mention-do this right before you go to bed) After about 1-2 weeks, the fungus area should start to turn a dark brown to black---this is a good thing.. You then need to let the dark area grow out on its own. As your nail grows-cut off the black area when able. My Father has problems with nail fungus, and insurance will not cover the outrageous cost of the prescription drug available for this. He tried it and it worked. I've done it -doubting that it would work-but it did! And you can't beat the minimal expense of the supplies needed.
