Strolling the yard
I noticed my budgie was acting very sleepy and out of character with some very unusual poos so I took him to the vet yesterday morning and the vet had a look at his poos only to diagnose him as having a digestive fungal/bacterial infection.
Today is his second day of his meds (itraconazole/baytril both orally). At first he was very easy to medicate and he would instinctively bite onto the syringe when it was placed in front of him however he has become much more reluctant to take his meds and will shake his head and wiggle around. Today I noticed him actual vomit the medicine along with some undigested food, he is in bad shape so I really don't want him regurgitating his meds up. Does the medicine taste that bad? He seems to really hate the antibiotic the most. Is him vomiting up some of the doses going to hinder the medicines effectiveness in the long run and is it preventable?
The vet also said he had lost a little bit of weight, I've added extra seed in with his pellets but is there anything else I can do? Maybe giving him some sunflower seeds as a treat?
I just can't bare to see him so sick This is the first time so far one of my budgies has become unwell so I've never seen him like this and it's very upsetting, I really hope he's back to his old self soon
