Sad Update # 362 Millow vomiting and tired

[JAM]

Not sure what on earth has happened, but I got home from work and had both scalies on my shoulder and all of a sudden Millow starts vomiting, splattered onto my face and clothes, he kept on doing the action till he obviously had nothing left. He's definitely subdued, he's a fluffy bird anyway but I get the sense he's a bit more fluffed than normal.

Ive mixed up some loritreat for him and put some Quik Gel in there, he lapped it up and doesn't seem to have brought it back up, however he's been dozing on J's shoulder snuggled up next to his neck for the past couple of hours and it is only just bed time for them.
Apart from keeping him warm, not sure what else to do.

I called our emergency vet, there's only a student on who said to bring him in if he goes downhill and booked me in tomorrow at 8am with a vet who has an interest in birds but he isn't our CAV, he's not in till Monday.

Poor Millow.

Was he bobbing his head up and down or slinging it side to side? Up and down is regurgitation which means he loves you, side to side is vomiting.

Hi Ginger,

There was a bit of bobbing but definitely side to side movement of the head - a shaking/flicking motion. I had to wipe his head down and clean him up as he got it on himself too. It's the same motion that my first scaly was doing before he passed so naturally I am really panicky. He also kept doing it when I put him down on the table to wipe myself down, he was walking around doing it, so it was a nice cleaning session. Because lorikeets have wet food, it was pretty messy.

Poor little guy, many prayers it's nothing serious.

The dozing has me concerned that it's more than regurgitation Hoping he perks up, but best to have him examined by the ER vet, and then your A.V. Keep us posted

Here's the little man on J, he's definitely just not looking himself and he's making little squeak noises every now and then. I tried to move him earlier and he was reluctant to move which he is usually a little protesting to be taken away from his safe spot, but tonight he's definitely refusing to budge and trying to tuck himself up more.

Vomiting is never good and always cause for a vet, poor Millow! Give him a kiss from Canada.

[animallover]

Aww poor baby. PLEASE get him to a vet ASAP looks like something is going on seriously. Please don't wait until it is too late. Better safe than sorry. Prayers are with you both. Keep us posted. Thanks!

Hoping the vet can help.

This will sound really gross,
But does his breath smell sour? Implying a bacterial problem, maybe some of the wet food had spoiled? Or have their been any recalls on any of the batches you have?

Fingers crossed for him,
I hope his stomach just didnt agree with him

 

[suncoast]

No it doesn't sound gross, it is an excellent suggestion.

Poor baby. Sending prayers for Millow that it is nothing serious.

 

[saroj12]

sending good thoughts for Millow

His symptoms remind me of Cora when she had a yeast infection. I hope Millow feels better soon and it's nothing serious.

 

[Bokkapooh]

Aww poor baby! I hope he feels better ASAP! Please keep us update

Prayers coming for your little one. I would definitely keep an eye on him and if he doesn't improve, I would take him in to be seen by a vet. They can get dehydrated very quickly from throwing up.
