swallowed oatmeal pellet...

[boat2530]

my baby 10 weeks old macaw swallowed oatmeal pellet.

i just fed him as before. Giving him formula at first. Then mashed potato.
and i gave him oatmeal also but i tried to pelletize oatmeal and gave it to him.
First i thought i would chew it but he swallowed it.

i touched his crop and search that oatmeal. i found it. it was and it is still an pellet that i gave him.. What must i do? will it digest itself?

Hi, try and relax all should be fine. I'm not familiar with an oatmeal pellet but if it is all food it should dissolve in the crop. I would give him extra water as pellets are very dry.

Take a pellet you are talking about and put it in a bowl of water to see how fast is dissolves........

Is it the Harrisons pellet that your Vet recommended to you?

No . it is not that harrison.
i did it myself. i just mold it myself. First i thought he would chew like chewing mashed potato but i was wrong he swallowed it. it is my mistake. my dad

I'm sure Happy will be fine. Like Gary said, give him some extra fluid.

I agree! he should be fine, but extra water is needed so that the oatmeal does not suck up extra fluid in the crop needed for maceration and cause a blockage. If he does not drink water yet, then make him some formula but make extra watery, not so water that you can not control the flow when you feed thou.
