Hello

I have a 29 days old baby budgie who suddenly started vibrating/trembling yesterday at around 12am, his legs and body became stiff and also he was pooping
uncontrollably . I lost all hope and thought he is not going to make it through the night, but miraculously he survived and is playing and also is sleeping most of the time.

I am attaching a YouTube link please do watch and tell me what happened because of him I had a panic attack and I want to know will it relapse or is he out of the danger zone.

Please reply asap.

Could’ve been a seizure. :( He should be evaluated by a vet.

I took him to our vet but he said that it might have been caused because of malnutrition or maybe some sort of trauma but I don't think so he is well fed with nutritious food daily.

It could be a genetic issue as well.

I found the cause, he didn't drink any water for the whole day maybe he was dehydrated.
Can he not get to the water? That’s a problem but it sounds like there’s more going on.

Hmm, keep a close eye on him. In my experience, episodes like that are usually warnings that something is wrong.
