Cockatiel Aspirated in Shower

[SD1030]

Just wanted to give you guys a follow up:

My cockatiel is doing well. Breathing is fine, no respiratory issues. No excessive sneezing. The vet says I can stop after 1 week of treatment, but if I really really wanted to, I can go another 5 days. However, I'm planning on taking a weekend trip this weekend, so I'd only be able to continue his treatment for another 2 days.

Obviously, I'm going to discuss this with the vet, but wanted to hear your thoughts as well. What do you guys think? Should I cancel my trip?

Again, this is for prevention of aspiration pneumonia since he potentially could have aspirated in the shower. He never really showed any respiratory issues to begin with.

Can the person care fir your bird while gone sneak meds into food?

I would not cancel your trip.

The original prescription was for 7 days. I could sneak in another day or 2. The person taking care of him while I'm gone cannot give him meds, unfortunately.
