According to the vet. All gram positive, no negative, no yeast. I had found two globs of throwup in his cage yesterday so I had taken his poop in today. Then after eating a lot of dinner when he saw me approaching with a Harrison's syringe he promptly regurged some food to make room for it!! Anyway she said no culture needed and to give him metaclopramide before the next meal after a vomiting episode.

Do they have any idea why he is vomiting? Is it from just eating to much, eating too fast or what?
It's good that the gram stain was OK.

He eats too much and has a sluggish digestive system

Did they do a transit time diagnostic using barium? One of my birds had that done and her digestive transit time was totally normal.

Probably not at my regular vet. Actually he poops more volume and frequency than any of the others! No regurg since yesterday.
