(I don't know where to put this, so mods can put it wherever appropriate if this isn't)
(FYI: My timezone is GMT+3)
"Again" meaning I took my cockatiel to a vet this Oct 2nd because of stool/poop suspicions (notably seeds in stool, bubbles in stool, the vet noticed diarrhea too). "Saturday" because free follow-up.
No drastic behavioral changes or anything just concerned about the stools. Took pictures of stool beforehand.
The vet gave me two medications for my bird, the gentamicina and total solucion oral which are both from Tabernil. (Question, is Tabernil any good? I've researched it and it seems to be a popular brand in Spanish-speaking countries but I can't find much internet opinions on it.)
(Alright, read this carefully)
I'm supposed to give my bird 4 drops/40ml of gentamicina for 5 days and 8 drops/40ml of total solucion oral for 30 days.
I was told to follow this: Gentamicina itself for 3 days --> Gentamicina + Total solucion oral for 2 days... transition period I guess? --> Total solucion itself for 28 days.
Ever since then, I've been taking pictures more often of my bird's stools for inspection.
Currently on the gentamicina + total solucion phase, no signs of seeds or bubbles so far.
But now the two possibly concerning things were the one time the stringy stool being hung from the vent (never happened again), and the one time where the stool was very reddish-brown on camera (was also kinda stringy but not hung). I've messaged the vet about the latter with pics and vet said let the 5 days run it's course + could be the medicine, but no such stool happened again. Maybe too early to judge? I dunno.
Anyway, do y'all think all of this is a good idea?
Anything I should say to my vet?
Just basically need reassurance/better solution/whatever. I'm sick myself (precautions + minimal contact with bird) and I need to get off the mental weight off my back. Kind of worried about my bird you see.
One more question, is it fine to replace my bird's usual drinking water with the one that has medications? (I put it in a teacup so my bird doesn't bathe in it haha)
