-- I completely understand your concern, especially after the previous diagnosis.

Elevated albumin can be associated with much more than psittacosis though and in some instances not mean anything at all. Your vet, who I believe is a well versed, experienced avian vet, will use these test results together with other factors and labs to know whether you have anything to get to treating.

And that's the good thing about all of this: A problem caught before there are symptoms is generally far more apt to be successfully treated than a problem with unmistakable symptoms.

A couple of things to also consider would begin with the size of the sample taken and where from. For instance, if done with a short clipped toenail, there is a significant possibility of the result being tainted.

A leg or wing vein draw (and jugular for larger samples) is more accurate, but let's not get ahead of ourselves right?

Elevated albumin can be associated with all sorts of relatively easily treated infections; or liver problems (again, let's not go there just yet).

To answer your question simply and specifically: Yes, a bird can be a chronic carrier of psittacosis and show no symptoms or ill effects themselves.

Will you check back when the rest of the labs are done or you talk to your vet and let me know what's going on? I'll be glad to help you no matter what it is you need to do
