so we took tiki (my cockatiel) to the vet
they said that she was very sick and needed to stay there overnight for 3 days?
(note:this is not an avian vet we dont have any in our area/country)
i was certien tiki wasn't sick
i weighed her daily and was always 112-113
she is very active
her dropings were fine and the blood test showed negative
should i still give them tiki or not?

(1)why did you take to vet if not sicj?
(2) given horror stories recently posted on this forum I would be leery of leaving bird with vet
(3) #2 many times over if Not an Avian vet

Conclusion, based on the info you have provided so far:
No. Don't leave bird there.

Hospitalisation for three days would require Tiki to have been given a diagnosis of a particular, and I assume quite serious illness. What exactly is the name of the condition that they told you she is suffering from?

Was it one of the vet clinics whose names and addresses I gave you in an earlier thread? If you are still concerned about Tiki's well-being, perhaps it is worth consulting one of them for a second opinion.

I am Very glad to know you did not leave you bird there. It is often best to go with your gut instinct, especially in a case like this.
