Walking the driveway
My cockatiel, George started acting sleepy and sitting at the bottom of his cage and when he was out of the cage I would find him sitting on the floor fluffed up. I took him to the vet and she said he has a sinusitis and conjunctivitis. She prescribed antibiotics and said he needs to be on a pellet only diet with no seeds. She was also concerned that he was deficient in vitamin A due to the fact he is a seed eater. I did some research and found that a vitamin A deficiency can essentially cause an infection due to the lack of the vitamin. I'm super worried about him. She said everything else checked out okay. Lungs were clear which makes me feel better. But since I gave him his medicine he's been shaking his head and his eyes started watering he's also acting more sleepy. His breathing is fine but he's just so pitiful looking. I feel awful for him! Idk what to do to make him feel better. Maybe make a hospital box for him? Any advice is much appreciated
