hey guys! I could use some advice. I have a 9 year old Queen of Bavaria (Golden) Conure named Hunter ... He is my baby so I'm a serious worry wart. In the last two weeks, my husband and I went to Mexico for our anniversary. During the time (8th-15th), we boarded our boys at a local spot we've used a few times in the past. It does require yearly health screenings. On the 16th I noticed Hunter's poops were very sour and smelly, much like baby poop. He is acting normal, eating and drinking, maintaining weight. I made an appointment with our vet and he was seen on Monday but his fecal came back normal. I was told to call in yesterday to report how he was and I told them he was still smelly despite the negative fecal. Haven't heard from the vet... And it's starting to worry me. I plan to call again tomorrow, but has anyone had a similar issue? Did you find it via blood tests rather than fecal? I always worry if they're running the right tests. He was fed an abundance of pistachios while boarding (I mean 7-10 a day ... Need to tell them not to do that next time), so the vet said perhaps that's why and he needs a week or so to get back to normal, but it's been a week ... I'm scared, frustrated and don't want to waste time, just want him healthy. Advice?
