Hi guys, so I just got a baby African grey of 4 months this past Sunday. He seemed to be doing fine. Took him to see the vet on Wednesday and he visibly checked him, he said he was fine, looked healthy. Well yesterday I noticed his poop looked different. More watery and a bit brown. I also noticed he had thrown up pieces of food. They look undigested and all over the cage bottom. He is acting ok at times and at other times a little extra sleepy (he is a baby still) and irritated. I took him to the emergency yesterday and they wanted to start him on a bunch of tests, xrays and possibly antibacterial. They told me he was puffed up and looked really ill. Sounds scary but as I questioned them, the vet that saw him was not an avian vet, they said it was just procedure and that the avian vet was not going to be in till Monday. I asked if it warranted the vet stay and they said he was stable but anything could change. Before we left I made an appointment with his avian vet we just saw on Wednesday and they said he could be seen on Monday, tomorrow. Here is a picture of his poop this morning, it looks a little worse today. He is still eating and drinking and playing even, although not as much. What would you do? Take him in to emergency with a regular vet today or wait for avian vet tomorrow??
