AboutDr. Christina Chambreau Expertise I can give you the holistic approach to any problem in any species. Depending on the condition and the type of animal, I will be able to give very specific treatment suggestions such as what flower essences, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, diet changes, lifestyle changes or herbs that may be helpful. I can also suggest where you can go for further education or to find a specialist in a specific holistic field. I can help you understand why your animal is ill and what improvements can be expected. I do not check messages more than every one to two days, so PLEASE DO NOT ask about EMERGENCIES - call your local veterinarian. I cannot diagnose your animal. I cannot prescribe specific treatments. I am no longer very current with conventional treatments, so cannot answer questions on those. I am not an expert on birds or small critters. I will give you helpful connections about hose species.
Experience I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1980 and began using homeopathy in my practice after a client introduced me to it. By 1988 I was using exclusively holistic treatments. I began lecturing in 1987 and have spoken at veterinary conferences, health food stores, people's homes, churches, veterinary college conferences - anywhere people want to learn more about keeping their animals healthy.

A pair of my parakeets just had 4 babies. The oldest one will make a week
tomorrow (Friday 06/27/09). The mom and dad - along with 4 other
parakeets in another cage next to them - have mites.. or some kind of little
bug on them. (We used to keep their cages in our house but everyone started
to get bites... they're really tiny bugs but I've seen a couple on feathers that
dropped from the birds...) I have put a mite repellent onto their cage so
hopefully that help with the problem...
Anyway, I was wondering if that'd be harmful to the babies? If so, I'd like to
get them out of there before the mites can bite them... But would that mean
I have to hand feed them? Because I am not experienced, but could learn if I
had to.
They are already a week old and I don't see any bugs on them so far, but I'm
scared for when they start getting feathers and what not. Please help me
with this situation. These are my first baby keets and I'd be devastated if
something were to happen to them.
Much appreciation,
Ally
Answer Please take the repellent out now. Birds are VERY sensitive. Please consult with a bird specialist, not just on line. If you really want these birds to live long healthy lives, find a holistic veterinarian who specializes in birds, like Dr. Ramelmeier - she can work by phone, so call her at 410-531-9213.
