How long do you worry about droppings before a vet visit?

Zumaria · Jan 7, 2014

Jenga has been having more-watery than normal droppings, but the color still looks fine. Now, I've been working at home the last two days so she has been getting more fruits and people food than normal because I'm here eating too, so I suspect that is playing into this. However, I'm going to only giver her pellets tonight and tomorrow and if doesn't clear up is it time for a vet visit? How long does it take feces to 'bounce back' from diet changes?

If she resumes to her normal eating habits, they should return to normal within 24 hours.

a good way to check is always revert to what is normal for them to digest.

The fruit will do that to them... It should clear up fairly quickly.

Agreed. Put her back on her normal food and check then.

I must say though - my vet had a good giggle at me and my poo stress! LOL! I'm getting better but at first I would have a panic attack eaxh time I saw a 'new poop' and rush off to the AV

Yeah I know! Birds are just so good at hiding the fact that they are sick I'm so worried I'm just going to come home one day and she's going to be dead. I'm a little paranoid too

Its been over 24 hours on only pellets and still very watery

Vet visit tomorrow at 5:30....

Good. You should have seen a change by now so it is good that you're seeing the AV just to make sure what is going on. Please report back on what he says.

Ah, sorry for the back and forth but we actually had normal poopies this morning so I cancelled the appointment - whew! Still keeping an eye on her

MomtoPercy · Jan 9, 2014

Yay!!! I know the 'relief of normal poopies"!

Glad she seems ok now. Just watch her to set your mind at ease.
