Oh I'm a bigger worrier with my babies even when well. So I understand. Its stressful.
The stress from Visiting a veterinarian even when they are normal can throw them off yes.
Of course taking extra naps can indicate they aren't feeling well too.
Offer all the favorites, like millet spray.
If I understand, yours didn't have a lot of symptoms, just smelly breath right? Had been eating fine, not napping extra before right? Good poops?
So right now we dint know what's wrong, or if anything is wrong. And you are going back to veterinarian on Tuesday. You can always call first thing Monday.
What I recommend is Xtra warmth. I like the sweeter heater as sold on Amazon. Sick burds really benefit from Xtra warmth 80-90 f . You can make your home a little warmer.
Keep them calm and caged except when out for cuddling with you .
Sick burds get whatever they want to eat within reason. No sugary foods. Try and keep diet healthy and what they normally eat. But hang a treat stick and/or millet spray. If seed mix is part of the diet bump up a little more than what you normally offer. If seeds are normally just for treats offer a few. Offering tge veggies high in beta carotene/ Vitamin A as that helps with immunity. Like warm cooked sweet potatoes, warm roasted or steamed carrots, leafy greens like romaine are higher in vitamin A and the yellow/orange/red bell pepper..sick burds generally burn more calories when sick up to 3x more. And often eat less, so you want to keep them eating and tempted.
Its a good idea to have a digital scale and track weight.
Those are just good supporting measures for Sick burds.
Keep calm.
If anything changes that has you worried , stops eating, staying fluffed and nit moving around, big liquid still with no formed fecal ( diarrhea) changes in breathing or anything then you would want to get him in and not wait till Tuesday.
But hopefully he is going to be just fine
Thank you so much! Yes before I made the Tuesday appointment and took him to emergency last night he was pretty much normal. Just the seeds on his beak and the fishy breathe. Maybe napping more than my others but I’ve only had him three weeks so maybe that’s just him, or maybe he was napping a normal amount and I’m just paranoid.
He was eating normally, singing, dancing, playing with toys. Very friendly and interactive. I was actually impressed with how quickly he came around, I’ve only had him 3 weeks now, the first few days were bad. He would fly at me to attack me, bite me hard and make me bleed. So he came around really fast, now he asks for rubs everyday.
So him being a litter quieter right now is new, since the vet visit and meds.
Poops are normal I’ve been mushing them up with my fingers (what we do for love right) and they are solid with no seeds in them.
He is still eating and drinking, giving a toy the odd nibble, just quieter. Still preening and stretching.
His last home was very bad, dirty. He lived in junk food (eggos, bread, crackers) and never ate a vegetable. I offer fresh greens everyday and he has warmed up to eating them, so far broccoli and kale are a winner! And I’ve actually just remembered he came with a cut on his foot, I sprayed it with Vetericyn and it healed up nicely, perhaps that is the cause of this infection whatever it is.
Thanks so much for understanding and forgive my scattered and unorganized answers as I’m not in the best state of mind right now. I have them outside right now as it’s a warm day, half in the sun half in the shade. I thought some fresh air and sun would do him good.
