This may sound naive if you know a bit about common budgie illnesses, but this is actually news straight from my vet I was very surprised to hear this, especially after the vet told me that she's never met a diabetic budgie before (and only a handful of diabetic parrots in general). Frankie's blood-glucose levels were so high that they surpassed the measurable levels on her test!
His other symptoms are excessive thirst & urination, lethargy, a loud heart murmur, a GI infection, slightly papery skin, and a relatively fast heart rate. He's being given Baytril for his infection, and it seems like this alone has already decreased his lethargy I believe we're going to start trying diabetes medication soon, but the dosage is going to be trial and error.
The fact that he's quite sick and that there's not much information on how to treat him has really been upsetting me I'm optimistic, but very nervous about things going wrong or not working out..
Please wish Frankie good luck!
