Hello everyone!!! First time poster here ^__^
I have a female budgie named Juju and she is the absolute love of my life! I wanted to come on here and introduce myself and hopefully get acquainted with my fellow fid lovers.
I also wanted to talk about Juju's recent medical history and hopefully receive some insight as to what is going on here.
So for at least 6 months, she has been having consistent polyuria. Besides eating a wet leafy green, she will consistently drink copious amounts of water (at least 7 sips per drinking) and have frequent droppings of mostly water or formed fecal + a huge ring of water.
**VERY WET FECAL - this happens often/everyday**
She also has normal fecal droppings shown here:
Otherwise, she is her happy, loud, and very playful self. I wanted to get to the bottom of her dropping problem so I brought her to the avian veterinarian last Wednesday and we performed various diagnostic tests.
She came back negative for Avian Gastric Yeast (PCR test), negative for parasites and bacteria in her 2 fecal tests. We also did a VetScan and that showed normal kidney and liver function. She has done a CBC test (in March when she had multiple vitamin deficiencies and potentially an infection which was resolved with a trial of antibiotics).
Has anyone else dealt with a case of polyuria in their parrots? Please share your insights and I'll keep everyone updated after her next visit to perform more diagnostic tests.
Say Hi to Juju! ^_^
Thank you for reading everyone
