Hi, everyone. Emergency vet wasn't of much help, predictably. Turned out we did do an X-ray at the other vet, and that was clear, so no tumors on the one bird. Emergency vet said there was no way to check a bird's iodine/thyroxine levels. Even if there was, they said, they don't have iodine in stock. Didn't think it was canker and didn't want to test for it. They gave me an anti-histamine, which I'll try, but am not expecting to work.
Out of curiosity, is it safe to give a bird topical Lugol's iodine, as long as diluted appropriately? I can pick that up a local store today. Any other form of iodine will take days to arrive, and I'm really, really desperate at this point. I really think this might be it.
