I am confused.



You said this 13 days ago;


But saw a vet;


Is it possuible to return to the same vet you saw recently? Call them and explain what is going on?
I don´t believe any vet would turn their back on a chick if they heard you were having problems.
cuz i went to his house not the clinic, but now there’s a curfew we cant go outside. I’m calling him hopefully he’ll pick up

Speak with the vet and see what they recommend.
If they advise to bring the bird to his house, you can call your local authorities and double check you will be ok for an emergency vet visit, request an email as confirmation if you want more reassurance.

Remember too, it’s a canary. Meaning travel can be detrimental to his health. If he’s acting better, maybe just hang on and wait/watch.

Of course calling the vet is a good idea.

Please understand that on a forum like this, we see people do lots of crazy things. It’s not that we are suspicious of you, just that we don’t know you.

I am glad that you care so much about your baby. Have you named him yet?

update: i managed to take coopy to the doctor’s house and he gave me an anti fungal powder, he told me to mix the powder with water and then use this solution to prepare baby cereal as coopy is still being hand fed and he’s still young. But i’m worried if it’s really okay for the bird to take his medication whenever he eats as the medication is in the food he’s eating so idk is that fine, what should i do i’m worried if he over doses but that’s what the doctor told me to do, so idk should i keep feeding him regularly as if the food doesn’t contain any medication. he’s sleeping now and i also noticed that he’s gotten a bit lazy, could it be a side effect from the medication?

That is mostly Nystatin which is a widely used medication for fungal infections in birds (and humans). Use it as directed by the veterinarian. Did he tell you how much to put in the water that you make your food from? If you aren't going to take the vet's advice, don't bother to go see one.

The dose is right, trust your vet. If it has a fungal infection that’s the best treatment, and your bird will start feeling better very soon.

Oh no! Are you going to have a necropsy done? That can maybe tell you what was wrong so the others don't get it.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

all vet clinics are closed, the dr can’t do an autopsy at home. so idk he’s dead now and tbh it’s really depressing not seeing him jump around the cage anymore. i’m never raising canaries again, don’t wanna be responsible for another death.
