Hi Everyone,
I have some issues here with my lovebird. So Around a year ago, I discovered that my lovebird has a lot of bubbles in its poop (ard 10). He is also kinda lethargic.
We bought him to the vet and the vet can't seem to find any issues with him so he is given probiotics and vitamins.
Soon, he recovered and is back to his normal self though the bubble poop is still there, but lesser.
This week he seemed really sick with a lot of bubbles with his poop, a bit of diarrhea and he loses his weight from 45g to 43g. Although he only lost 2 grams, I could easily feel his middle bone sticking out....
So we went to the vet and did a poop test, the vet found a lot of yeast in his poop. We were given nystatin and Scourban to be given to him for 7 days (once every 12 hrs).
One qns: Is Scourban a common usage? Will it cause any gastrointestinal issues?
So right after we went home from the vet visit, fed him the Scourban and Nystatin, he started to have dark coloured poop... ranging from dark green to literally black.
This lasted the first 2 days of the medication. Just wanted to know if Scourban will actually cause a reaction to produce dark colored poop? Wondered if it is the same as humans, when we have antibiotics, it will strain on the gastrointestinal functions?
2 days later his poops are back to normal (green nicely formed) but with bubbles.
However, it seemed like he is not getting better? He is still lethargic looking.... He stills eats but his appetite has largely decreased. I had been feeding him poly aid plus to try to let him gain back his weight.
Tomorrow I was thinking to bring him back to the vet again for another review.
Any suggestion I should mention to the vet?
Thank you so much all for your time.
