Negative grams in parrot mouth from hand feeding

[charlielove]

Any one know of a herbal cure?

If you have a high gram negative bacteria count on your mouth swab your vet will prescribe antibiotics.

I don't know what kind of bird you are hand feeding but, keeping the syringes and food containers CLEAN is mandatory. I highly recommend that you buy some F10 and after rinsing in hot water soak the syringes in a 250/1 solution of F10 and take out only when you are ready to feed. You must wash the food container very well in hot water (and rinse very well) and do not save leftover feed between feedings.

I've done years of hand feeding my two chronically ill birds and believe me I learned the hard way to keep everything immaculately clean.

Another good product to use for soaking is grapefruit seed extract. One drop in a cup of water

I also recommend you treat with antibiotics and with what Hankmacaw posted. While there are some holistic and natural products that can be used they are better as preventatives and not as treatment. Once the bacteria/yeast is there it is best to treat with prescription meds before the condition worsens.

I was/still am hand feeding my Jardine. Ive already gotten vet meds and finished them awhile ago. If any one is wondering a good anti microbial is coconut oil as well as pau de'arco bark as preventative.
