Hello!
I have an eight-month-old female cockatiel, Zazie Butter-Noodle , and she is currently on antibiotics for an infection(Her poop is watery too, I hope it will be better when her antibiotics are finished).
The avian vet said she was underweight and suggested that we weigh her every day.
So, we have weighed her every morning and night.
When we started weighing her a week ago, she was 89g in the morning + 90g at night. Her weight today has been 85g this morning and 83g currently.
Zazie's weight averages around 87g but 83 just seems so low compared to when he first started.
Is this normal?? I don't know if cockatiels' weight moves around a lot or if they should be at a steady weight?
Also, we just got her some Harrisons pellets and mixed in some red palm oil prescribed by the vet.
