Your bird sounds very sick and urgently needs to see an avian vet.

Please stop giving paracetamol . I have no idea whether it is safe for birds in any quantity. Even if it is safe, you are almost certainly giving too much. In humans it damages the liver when taken in large quantities, and as birds are so tiny it is easy to give an overdose.

!and it isn't just liver damage but full on liver failure. Pretty horrible


@Sakina
Please do stop the paracetamol. You should not be giving any medication to your bird without avian vet oversight. If you don't have access to an avian vet there are some who can give an online consult. But if you treat blindly you can easily cause much more harm than good.

I am sorry your bird is ill. Please try reaching out to a medical professional.

I am giving paracetamol just few drops dissolved in water can this small amount cause liver damage?.and my father took advice from some birds keepers they said to give vibromycin an antibiotic (only one capsule by just dissolving a very small amount in his water).can it too pose serious effects?

My best advice is to get to a avian vet ASAP

I don't know how toxic paracetamol is to birds. If they are more sensitive than humans, even a tiny amount could be dangerous.

You have no idea why your bird is sick. Antibiotics only work against the bacteria that are sensitive to them. They are useless against bacteria that are resistant, viruses, fungal infections and so on. However, antibiotics do often kill gut bacteria. As such, you should not give an antibiotic unless you know that it will help the bird. You can only check this by testing the bird. Vibramycin is broad spectrum but even then, it won't be effective against a virus or fungal infection.

Noone of us are vets. You really need to see an avian vet who can suggest some treatments. There will be a fee for this. I am not aware of any free services.
