After around a year of recurrent illness and ~$2,000 worth of vet visits and diagnostic procedures with no luck, I've finally found something that's eliminated all of her symptoms(!!!!):
Completely cutting seeds from her diet.
Charlie is a 6 y/o cockatiel who had been suffering from chronic vomiting, sneezing and lethargy.
Starting two weeks ago, I completely removed seeds from her diet which eliminated her symptoms almost immediately. I'm so happy that I've finally zeroed in on the thing causing her issue.
I'm unsure if she developed an intolerance, if she had been overfilling her crop, if it's a reaction to a particular kind of seed, or maybe a protein/chemical found on all seed casings. But things are looking so much better!! And I'm so happy that she's feeling better!!!
Does anyone else know of any birds with seed intolerance? Any good foods to replace them with? I've tried replacing with a pellet made by RoudyBush, but she's not the biggest fan.
