I always been wondering... Bud always had the runs. Always. I've had her for 2 years now (september 2006 in fact) and I can't remember when she would not leave a wet mess on me. I saw that she has tail bobbing too... But I mostly noticed that yesterday. One time I decided to take her to the vet. Not my current avian vet, I mean my dog's vet. He just told me that it was because she was reaching puberty (?!?!?!) and shrugged it off (Then told us to pay him 60 bucks). I was not the one that took her to the vet in fact, it was my mom. I was at work.

 

I wonder... should I take her back to the vet? Like I said she's been like this for a looong time... Can it be "normal"?

have you noticed when she does this most? Is it only during certain times like a molt, her cere is brown and crusty? Or all the time?

When she does what the most? The pooping or the tail bobbing?

 

The pooping is all the time, since pretty much forever. The tail bobbing seems to be all the time too, maybe. I noticed it yesterday, and I wonder if she's not going to drop an egg on me since she had also dropped a massive wet poop on me that day.

 

But somehow I doubt that.

Considering it has been an ongoing thing and the others are not sick, it would be unlikely a bacterial/viral/fungal thing.

 

Possibly a lack of good bacteria in her gut??

Possibly an organ issue??

Possibly an allergy to something in her environment??

 

It's impossible to tell so its probably best to get her to your avian vet for some tests.

I figured as much... The other guy was truly a doofus. I guess I'll give my vet a call again tomorrow!

Totally agree with you there.....that vet was an idiot and you got $60 worth of idiot information

Sound like it is a baterial in fection or lack of good bateria like Liv stated get it to an AVAIN vet for a check up

If it was a bacterial infection wouldn't Pat and Godzilla be sick too by now?

 

I'll call the vet today... In the meantime I'll dream of fresh water (I'm having an echography today, and I don't have the right to have a sip of water for 4 more hours still!!!)

That is why I am leading towards the NOT ENOUGH GOOD bateria in it...

This sounds familiar to another member that had a problem like this. The Avian vet gave it Poo medicine Gross but it worked , as the budgie had no good bateria in it's gut , well that is what I can remember :hap: Best to take it to the vet - Now i wish i could remember who it was I would love to know the outcome.

To promote good bacteria yogurt can be given in small amounts.

Yea? How much is a small amount exactly? A teaspoon?

 

That sounds like a start and something I can do.... if she cooperates. It's Bud, I doubt she will without putting a mess in my living room but it's worth a try.

 

EDIT: Got her a visit to the vet tomorrow night. It won't be with the vet I saw with Blue though, she's completely booked for a while, but it's another of their avian vets.

Neat was talking about the S*** sandwich which is made with a healthy birds poop, then prepared somehow to make it deliverable via crop needle. ERRRRRRRKkkkk Too early to be thinking about that :X
