My 21 year old male umbrella cockatoo, who has a long history of prolapse, was recently diagnosed with a yeast infection because I noticed a change in his stool consistency. He had a CT scan done as well as lab and stool culture. The only diagnosis was yeast infection and " possible proventricular disease" which they will explore after the yeast infection is cleared up. He has had a significant loss of appetite and is slightly lethargic, but he is normally a pretty quiet boy anyway. The prolapse has had surgery several times and I have been told that there isn't anything else they can do for that. We manage that daily with bottom baths and lots of paper towels. He is an extremely picky eater and will only eat when he's spoon fed.. so we feed him a mash of pellets and water when we eat..
He is currently on Nystatin 3 times a day, but his appetite is really poor right now, and he is loosing weight quick..
I'm really concerned about him
Any suggestions or thoughts?
