hello members , i have almost 5 month old macaw ( blue and gold ) parrot, its still on hand feeding , few weeks ago he lose his 90% natural voice and not showing intreast in feed and he also vomit 20% of his feed , like if i feed 70cc he vomit 20cc after 2 hours , but its was active and his pop is also normal

vet advice me to give antibiotic 2 times in 24 hours for 1 week via injection, after 5 days of treatment he starting eating but voice was same and advice me to more antibiotic for 5 days like it will 10 days completed.

have complete treatment of 10 days but voice was still same , then he did some swab tests and result come after 1 weeks , in tests vet found Heavy growth of Pseudomonas Acruginosa and Heavy growth of Enterobacter species. then he recommend me for Amikacin antibiotics via injection.

now its 4 days and his voice and vomit is still on same condition like first day but he is still active and his pop is also normal.

Where did your young one pick up something like that? Did vet say? Outside, inside? Exposure to birds, foods?

Hello guys, the issue is solved now. The main issue was that I was overfeeding him. The vet advised me to reduce his hand-feeding formula to 3 times a day:

  1. 70 cc in the morning at around 8:00 AM
  2. 50 cc in the afternoon at around 1:00 PM
  3. 70–100 cc at night at around 11:00 PM
The vet also advised me to keep soft foods available in his cage throughout the day, such as mango, grapes, and green vegetables.

Thank you to everyone who replied and gave me advice during this time. I really appreciate your help and support! ❤️
 
you might add cooked sweet potato to that list, they love it.
