Hi all. I recently had a huge scare with my conure Basil — she was exposed to cleaning fumes, and she was really weak and in a bad way but she survived. A few days later she started pooping black and the vet confirmed that there was blood. I’ve been giving her 0.05 mL of carafate and baytril daily, and she seems to have gotten better. This was two weeks ago.
She’s eating normally now but wasn’t eating enough, so i’ve been handfeeding her Emeraid Omnivore IC formula to keep her weight up. This evening I noticed that she cannot pass a stool.. she tried 4 times, and nothing. Earlier today she was passing just fine. I’ve been busy today so i haven’t let her out yet, so she couldnt have gotten to anything outside the cage.
No stools stuck to her vent. Trying to run a warm bath for her right now in hopes it’ll help.
I’ll be at the vet tomorrow but what should i do in the mean time?
