Hello! New member here. We took our 1 yr old cockatiel to the avian vet for a suspected sinus infection as we noticed he’s losing the feathers above his nares. Since our wellness visit was coming up, they got us in for a well check and his wellness exam. Crop swab was negative and they flushed his sinuses and tested his stool. I believe extra bacteria was found there and it was sent out. They also did blood work and an overall check as well as a vitamin shot. This was Friday. It’s now Sunday. Yesterday and today he’s not acting his normal jovial self. He’s on antibiotics to make sure we get any infection wiped out. He will sit puffed up and nod off a lot. He’s still eating and drinking. He has some runny stool, I’m assuming from the antibiotics. Anyone ever been down this road with their baby?
