Q. I was told it was a vitamin K deficiency. Is this true and is it treatable.
I work at a petstore and a parakeet there is going thru the same thing. My bird died (not because of this problem) but does anyone know what causes it for sure.

A. Only two things that affect the cere and nostrils ( M2MM has addressed beak issues not cere issues )...
Scaly face mites.........easily treatable with spot on ivermectin.
and
Hypertrophy of the Cere
This so-called "brown hypertrophy" may be likened to catarrh of a mucous surface and occurs in many types of chronic ill health. Apparently it is not caused by local infection, and ideally treatment consists of finding and treating the underlying cause. The cere should be treated also by picking away the heaped-up material and applying a little oily lotion, cod liver oil, Dettol or bland ointment. Below is a picture of a Budgie with hypertrophy of the cere.

The growth can sometimes be caused by mites or tumours.

Does a deficiency of vitamin K lead to Parasites and Candidiasis or is it vice versa?
Q. Does a lack of vitamin K create an environment favorable for parasites and candida, or is it the opposite. Do parasites and candida lead to a deficiency of Vitamin K?
A. From what Ann Louise Gittleman states in one of her books on detoxing, Vitamin K is produced in the small intestines. If one had a compromised intestinal flora due possibly to parasites and/or candida, then it makes sense that one would not be able to produce Vitamin K.
I've also read that the B Vitamins are responsible for producing strong stomach acid and a lack of adequate stomach acid can allow parasites, and bacteria to grow.

Could Vitamin K deficiency be a cause of rings under the eyes?
Q. If so, can you list the types of foods that will give have vitamin K.
A. You might be lacking iron also..
How do I avoid the vitamin k injection and the vaccines the hospital gives newborns at birth?
Q. How do I know the hospital will respect my wishes and not vaccinate or inject my newborn with vitamin K?
A. Why would you want to avoid it? The vitamin K injection is important because newborn babies have very little vitamin K. A small proportion of babies suffer bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency (VKDB). Giving a vitamin K injection prevents this problem.
While VKDB is rare it can cause bleeding from the nose and mouth or into the brain. You won't always be able to see this bleeding. It can lead to brain damage or even death. While there are certain factors that increase the risk of bleeding, it isn't always possible to identify high or low risk babies so the injection is a good idea.
Some parents are concerned over the vitamin K injection at birth due to the concerns over childhood cancer that were raised by some studies in the early 90�s but other studies have NOT confirmed this.
HepB at birth you could actually skip and give later. A newborn unlikely produces any response to it.
