For the last 12 months my budgie 'Rascus' has had constant runny poos, mostly dark green, now almost clear liquid.

I have taken him to various Avian Vets, and normal Vets during this time. All have tested the 'mess' and cannot find what is causing it.

 

I have even taken him to another person's house for 7 days..kept him in his cage for days on end. Removed all greens. Given him grit (All on Vets suggestions) Nothing is working

 

He still sings, very loudly I must say, flies around his room, plays on his swing set, Eats his seed not just crack them. Sometimes he fluffs up.

 

He is so lively that last week when we had visitors staying, they nicknamed him 'Kamikaze Pilot'

 

Can anyone out there tell me what else can I do.

 

Yes, he has been wormed, given calcium and vitamins. No, he is not losing weight (so the Vet said)

I've tried 3 Avian Vets in our surrounding areas - rather a long drive. When I got no satisfaction from them I went to two normal vets...all said they could not find anything.

The bottom of his cage is just like runny water.

I am now sending the samples to Vetafarm.

Thanks for you input

I could not find my original post about Rascus and his constant runny motions..

Well I got the result today.

He has Pseudodiabetes (false diabetes), it is caused by an infection in the Pancreas. The liquid he passed was not from the bowel but from the kidneys.

Vetafarm are sending me some Spectovet . antibiotic

Now we have to wait to see if it works on him.
