hello first time on the forum but i use it to get opinions on bird things big n small but unfortunately today my heart is breaking.
yesterday night he seemed really cold it’s been uncomfortable in our home due to a number of things & we’ve been doing what we can & thankfully tomorrow we’ll be moving into a new home that will be better for everyone involved anyway so i tried my best to keep him warm till i was falling asleep myself
this morning he wasn’t doing any better eyes closed all morning, no squeaks, again originally thinking he was cold attempted to keep him warm then we gave him his food & he wouldn’t touch it he’s almost always hungry & i started to worry. then he started to run (doesn’t have his flight feathers in yet) into the kitchen towards the sink since he knows there’s water there took a few sips & puked it back up as a clear thick liquid. then i was scared & called my avian vet & scheduled him an appointment for earlier today in the meantime he was extremely lethargic stayed in one place damn near the entire time with eyes closed.
vet checked him out but did not run a single test, “assumes” based off his symptoms that’s what it is. is this normal? didn’t write his diagnosis on any kind of paper work, i was given nystatin & syringes with z e r o directions on how to administer it besides make sure it’s on an empty stomach. im worried since we didn’t run a culture/swab test that we’re treating the wrong thing & i don’t want to waste any time. also was told that she’s not worried about him losing weight over the next couple days even though he’s a young bird not even a year since his hatch date yet. i want to hope that’s what it is & his medicine will work but im just having a lot of anxiety about it. any info will help, or anything i can change in his diet to help the process. thank you so much.
