Poop, is this normal?

[Newbsi]

Gollum has been acting strange for a week or two. This morning I noticed her first morning poop was not normal (for her). It is usually thick, almost like a green poop emoji. Anyhow, I am attaching a picture. Is this considered within normal range or is there something wrong?

You have noticed and are concerned by two anomalies which should be enough to make an appointment with your CAV. Let us know how it goes please?

You know what is 'the norm' for your bird, be confident in those observations.

that poop warrants a vet trip in my eyes

I just got off the phone with the Vet. They are talking to the doctor when she gets there and going to fit me in for an emergency visit.

Good on ya, that does not look right to me, either. Good luck and let us know what happens.

good to hear newbsi!

Let's hope it's a false alarm

I took Gollum to our avian vet with poop in tow. She came back positive for gram negative bacteria and she emphasized that there was A LOT. So Gollum is on two medications.

Good to hear you have a handle on Gollum's problem. Is it possible that Dobbie is also affected? Thanks for reporting back in.

So glad you took Gollum in!

good to hear you caught it! Do keep an eye on Dobbie. He may need some as well

That was my question (to my husband as soon as we got home).
I had no idea what a gram negative bacteria was.
Anyhow, when we take Gollum back in for her follow up, we are taking Dobby to get tested too. Unless she shows symptoms before then of course
