Hello everyone, I have a cockatiel, Kimchee. A few years ago I took her to the vet due to watery droppings and a small appetite. The vet took a sample of her droppings looked at it under her microscope and said it was giardia and a yeast infection. We treated her for both and she was fine for a while. Then the giardia came back a few times and we tried ronidazole in her water which would work for a few months. Then when it came back again we tried Metronidazole by squirting it in her mouth via syringe. That worked for a few months but then it came back again. We tried the same meds again and it came back after 2 weeks. The vet prescribed Paromomycin for two weeks and she just finished the 30th and she has watery poop again today. Most of the time she would look under the microscope, not see anything, and prescribe meds for giardia because she didn’t know what else it could be. I’m wondering if I should get a second opinion and maybe it’s something else because she only seems to be better when she’s actually on the meds. Is there anything else I can do if it is giardia? Any other meds I can try? I’m not sure what to do because it keeps coming back.
