I have a male rescue parrotlet who has not felt well the last couple days. I have had him since November. He has either been sleeping or eating non stop. The eating borders on obsessive. He is also fluffed up. I took him to the vet last night. They did a fecal which was normal. They didnt want to draw blood because of stress and she said he is a little thin. Unfortunately I had not taken him to the vet prior to this. She agreed something was wrong, the only unusual thing was there was fluid (like water or saliva) in his mouth when she examined him. I have him under a heat lamp and she gave me antibiotics for him. He either stays as close to the lamp as he can or eating like a maniac. Has anyone experienced this before? I am very concerned. Thanks for your help.
