911 Conure constant puking

[PamBeasley]

Our conure is vomiting up streams of milky colored liquid. About to contact out vet.. what should we do in the meantime he won't stop and it's coming out in large amounts

edit: he's sneezing and closing his eyes please help

 

[Mizzely]

Bump. I'm not sure there is a lot you can do at home beyond helping him warm until you get him to the vet

@Hankmacaw @enigma731 ?

 

[enigma731]

If the vet is open right now, I would take him and go without calling. Just show up and tell them it's an emergency.

 

[Hankmacaw]

Do as Enigma says. If you can't, a small amount of Pepto Bismol may settle his crop.

Any updates yet?

@Mizzely @enigma731 @Hankmacaw @Shezbug Thank you all so much for responding~ I went to the emergency vet right after posting this. They did x-rays on him and didn't find anything. I can't think of anything he could've possibly gotten into.. he had an apple early in the day which he's familiar with and then stayed with me until I put him back in his cage and he started vomiting. The vet's keeping him overnight and giving him medication and fluids... hopefully he'll be ok.

So sorry Christine. At least he is in the best place for now. Sending healing thoughts for him and that you can pick him up tomorrow.

Sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery for your little feather butt.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful post. I know he's exactly where he needs to be right now, but it helps to hear, especially because I miss him so much.

Thank you so much for your note

Sometimes they just get sick and we never find out why. Meds and supportive care are the way to go in that situation so you did exactly the right thing.

I hope he makes a full recovery and can come home tomorrow!

Did they run any tests on him (or are they going to)? He should probably have a CBC and Chem Pane and swabs/gram stains to locate any problems with an infection or with his organs.

 

[PamBeasley]

@Hankmacaw They did a gram stain and swabs and didn't find anything. X-rays were also clear. He got fluids and an anti-nausea injection.

He's home now, and the moment they took him out to give to us, he started regurgitating. The doctor said it was probably just excitement, and also if he still pukes in the car he's motion sick. He regurgitated a ton of food in the car, and now he's home he's stopped, but he's still a little puffy. He's eating and drinking. Is there anything I should do or is he still getting settled in?

 

[PamBeasley]

Here's a picture of him right now.. he's normally less puffed up but he's acting almost normal now.

 

[Hankmacaw]

Is there any possibility that he got a hold of something he shouldn't eat? Could there be a chance of a toxic fume in your house? Has he been drinking?

I'm not 100% sure what he could've gotten into... he was on my kitchen counter playing and eating an apple, which he's had before and loves, I kept my eye on him the whole time, and then he was on my shoulder with me and a few minutes I put him back in his cage, he started vomiting. I used a new cleaner the day before so that might've been it. He must've licked some of it while eating the apple Other than that, I don't know what he could've gotten into. He's drinking a lot right now.
