I was on the phone just a moment ago and noticed Cooper tapping his beak on his perch. I've heard him knock several times in the night and I think it's cute, but this time there was some white-milky kind of stuff coming out of his mouth? I googled it, thinking it was just him regurgitating but I'm not so sure since this has never happened before. It wasn't watery so I know it wasn't the normal kind of vomit people see. I can take the perch out and smell the little bit that there is on the perch, but I don't know what to smell for in terms of it smelling sour?
I do line the tray in his cage with newspaper and I give him some to shred. I am 80% sure he just shreds it and doesn't eat it. A piece of newspaper fell into his water for a split second and I didn't change the water because I didn't think it was a big deal. Could that have caused it?
We also just moved to a new apartment and my roommate placed air freshener plug ins in the kitchen, her bedroom, living room, and bathroom. Cooper spends 90% of his time in a closed door room with no air fresheners but I did take him into Carinas room because he was on my shoulder and we were talking about a bill we needed to pay. We were only there for a moment - no longer than two minutes. Could that have caused it?
Recently I switched Cooper from one kind of pellet to another, but he's been on it for a week. Is there any way that the food change is related?
In ways of description, it wasn't watery and it's kinda chunky and white.
I took all of the air fresheners out of "common" areas of the apartment and told my roommate we can't use them anymore because of what just happened.
What else can I do to make sure he's okay?
He's not showing any signs of illness - his poops are solid and the same color as before, he's not fluffed, or seeming sleepy. He's actually screaming in my right ear at this very moment.
I was going to take him to the vet after I get paid next Friday, but should I move the appointment up?
