My parakeet, Zuko, has been lethargic and his poop/behavior has been abnormal (green and semi-watery) so I of course went to the vet to get him checked out. They said they really weren't sure if anything was wrong with him (due to covid, I'm not in the room to see the vets inspect him, so this is based on what they said to me)//but I am also skeptical about this since I have another bird who's fine and healthy in comparison//
they said he just seemed to be more on the skinny side (despite his eating behavior seeming normal thus far) so I think his illness might have to be nutrition-based? I do try to feed my birds the Harrison bird pellet but they don't seem to like it I guess which is why he may be feeding off the treats i give him (rice, seeds here n there) rather than the pellet hence him possibly starving himself?
Long story short, do you guys have any mechanisms in trying to get your parakeets to like your pellets? Or do you have any other healthy pellet recommendations that your parakeets seem to enjoy?
Orrr, should I go to the vet again to do a further inspection? Because my worry is he might have a crop infection and the vets just didn't catch it since they didn't hand me any antibiotics
Any advice will help!
