Good morning everyone

I am waiting to hear from my vet on a routine parasite fecal exam. All looks good on my little cockatiel. Dr. Scott said The wellness exam went well and my cockatiel is healthy. If the test comes back positive for parasites what does this mean. What is the treatment. How is the treatment given. How much does the treatment usually cost.

thank you very much Roger

Not a big deal. If bacteria or yeast is found they will give you meds to give him for a few weeks. $20-$30 depending on the meds. Probably less since I have macaws... LOL
Thanks for the info.

It's uncommon for parrots in the USA to have parasites. I've had two birds tested specifically for parasites, both came back clear. Fungal and bacterial infections are far more common.
