After asking about the possibility of giardia (two vets) and being told it wasn't likely and no tests were needed, my board certified avian vet just said that Willie (my sun conure) may have giardia afterall.
Has anyone else had experience with this?
What tests did you do to determine if your birds had it?
What treatments did your vet do?
What did you to do try and get rid of the parasite in your cage/environment?
I change her water a few times a day and wipe down the cage with white vinegar a few times a week. From what I'm reading, vinegar has little or no effect on giardia.
I need to get this worked out - I just weighed her and she's down to 92 grams (from 116 in August).
