well i went for a drive yesterday into the country i had made arrangements with a breeder who i met at the local budgie show the day before ( he took out grand champion title ) and brought home a very pretty baby budgie, somehow i think its developed a chill over night as its droppings are liquid, he isnt sneezing and he also is not touching any of his food, i know my other budgie didnt eat anything either for the first 24 hours but im a little worried about his dropping being so liquid, i have tried looking it up on the net but cant find anything on how to treat it, i have heard some say you can treat their cold by giving them cold black tea to drink is that just a old wives tale or will that be beneficial

 

many thanks

 

Cheers

Sarah, Diarrhea could be cause by Stress... Change of location and people.... But I would have him checked by an Avian Vet... Take him straight away and let the vet know he has just been bought. He should do a swab for Megga, Canka, ,,,, and a few others......

 

I hope you have quarrantined him from your other birds..... Click the link in my signature to find out how to quarrentine properly and why....

thanks Daz, will do and he is quarantined i put him straight away when i got him into his own cage,

 

cheers

 

Sarah

let us know how he is today

I hope your budgie is doing well. It could be the stress of a new environment, but it is best to have him checked by an avian vet for sure. Looking forward to a picture of your budgie.

If the bird is a bacterial diarrhea due to infection, should use oxytetracycline. :happy-dancing:
