My soon to be 18 year old tiel gets daily probiotics per my vet's recommendation because he has trouble maintaining his "good" bacteria level. I also give him brewer's yeast when he's molting and if I'm worried about his stress level- like if I'm going away for a couple days, etc. And I'm comfortable with that. But I recently bought some other supplements and have been worried about giving them to him. I bought some milk thistle in part because before he came to live with us he was on an all seed diet and DMG because some members here speak very highly of it. But is that too much to give him? I know there aren't really any set guidelines but does anyone know of any info out there? Or what do you do? (And if it makes a difference, Sunny is relatively small for a tiel- he's only 74 grams.) His diet is good- he now eats vegetables, rice etc. and I think gets a good variety. Does he need supplements other than his probiotics? Is there such a thing as giving him too many supplements? Would love some input.
