My 4yr old budgie fell ill a month ago with what seemed like a respiratory infection. No avian vets in the area could get him in to see him in time. I treated him w/ baytril for a few weeks until he could be seen. Unfortunately two days before his visit he was found with a large bulge near his lower abdomen. I brought them in that day on an emergency visit, they did an ultrasound on him and found multiple cysts large inside his body. He was dying, and I had them put him down. Rip Beanie baby
I had an autopsy done, and the vet found a severe stomach infection and inflammation around the surrounding organs. she assured me that my cockatiel Hannah at home was probably fine and it could’ve just been a genetic thing. Nonetheless I brought her in to be seen. The vet told me that she thinks beanie my budgie beanie had either chlamydia or a mycoplasm. I asked for poo testing was told that mycoplasm might not even show up in the test. My cockatiel Hannah, was having abnormally large poos and seemed more quiet than usual. The vet prescribed Hannah with oral enroflaxcin (baytril) .3ML 2x daily.
I’m unfamiliar with chlamydia or mycoplasm. Would baytril be the go to med for these illnesses? Hannah also weighs only 96 grams, .3ML seems a little high? What do you guys think? I want to trust my vet but I also know that I treated my parakeet with Baytril and he still succumbed to his illness. I’m so worried about my baby Hannah, I just don’t want her going under the bus and I wanna help her in every way I can to prevent her from going through what our Beanie did.
