Today, I decided to give my budgie a bath in warm water. I took him out & saw that he started having trouble balancing because he was shaking so much. He also began wheezing, which I cannot explain because I made sure he didn't dunk his head in the water or that it didn't touch his beak. This has happened before as well.
I did the same routine of bringing him into my bed and wrapping him in a small blanket next to me in case he was cold, and he seemed to recover somewhat so I put him back in the cage. He shares this cage with two other male, adult budgies (they are one and he is 4 months). He hardly ever gets enough to eat and drink because they are constantly fighting over food, so I have to feed him myself sometimes.
While I was warming him up in my hand, I noticed he had pooped on me. However, it was not the same type of feces as yesterday and before. It was runny, and either clear or yellow, almost like mucus. There was no blood present in the feces itself but I did see some on his tail.
I want to know if I should contact a vet about this issue, and if his diet has anything to do with it.
I do not have photos of the poop.
