And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
:o....I don't see any changes in BB's poo,except it's a little milky looking,but it's still loose as all get out.

When he goes back to see his doc Friday,they'll prolly want to do blood work on the little boy...now I'm REALLY getting concerned.

I'm sorry Jim:( I know the vet did see some bacterial overgrowth in his stool samples, but just something I thought you might like to ask the vet being summer and all- is it possible little BB is simply drinking more water because it's hot out? Kiwi sometimes has "loose/watery" stools on exceptionally hot days because he eats more fruit and drinks from his dish more often. We have no A/C here, so if it's 85/90 degrees inside, we're all dying of heat and drinking more than normal. Just a thought. And being on the east coast, it isn't just hot back there, it's humid as all get out too (more moisture in the air)!
 
Sorry to hear about BB Jim. How well do you think it has gone with giving little BB his meds? Best to see his doc again really, he will be fine! Sometimes the antibiotic isnt the right one, some work better than others, but a blood test is the best way to give info on what is going on. Keep us updated please?

Actually April..its been cool/COLD here! My furnace still comes on! 50 at night...today is low 70's.
But yes I believe he is drinking a lot of water...his little stainless steel bowl was pretty low this morning....sighhhh :confused:

As you can see, there are many things that can effect variation in a Parrot's stool. It is also important to know that it can be in the last days of the application of a medication that changes are be seen. Depending on the bacterial, it can take very near the full treatment schedule to have a notable effect. Seeing that it is Tuesday, there is still 3.5 days of treatment remaining.

It is also, possible that another form of medication maybe needed. The good news in that your BB is under the watchful care of a CAV. Although, we are living in an age of near wondrous medical care, there is still much unknown.

FYI: I will be sending some warmer weather your way! But when you start feeling heat, don't tell me its too hot. After all the controls are a bit outdated with only two choices Cool/Cold or Warm/Hot. :D
 
Similar thing happened to one of my past budgies, that budgie had Kidney disease.

Hope BB doesn't have what my Budgie had.

I'm praying for him.

Wow...he left his calling card on my desk...this time it looked PERFECT!..very little urine and a nice blob of "green" with a little "white" in it :)
I'm waiting for him to do another!

We can take the "heat",Steven..but kindly leave the humidity behind!

Keep getting better, my Beebs. Stop scaring your Auntie G., okay?
 
I'll take that humidity. It's too dry here in the rockies.
