Q. Anitoiotic therapy or presence of oxalic acid in food?
I know taking antibodies for a long time can lead to vitamin k deficiency, but the answer says "readily".
Almost threw me off. The correct answers would be "presence of oxalic acid in food" right? Cuz anitbodies over a period of time, but OA can prevent you from absorbing some minerals.

A. I don't think the presence of oxalic acid in food will readily induce a vitamin K deficiency because it is a fat-soluble vitamin. You have to deplete the stored vitamin K to induce the deficiency, be it by medications or removal of tissue where it is stored. Another thing is that vitamin K is not a mineral, so I don't think oxalic acid interferes with its absorption because, if I remember correctly, it works as a chelating agent for minerals like calcium and iron.
What causes a parakeet's nostrils to grow over and eventually close.?
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.
