Pasha was sneezing some nights. The discharge is very small and transparent. So I bought an air filter and humidifier in his room. And because I was very worried, I took him to the vet. The vet gave antibiotics and we used it for 5 days but it did not pass. He said he had no other problem.
What do you think might be? Should I be too afraid?😞
Thank you🌼
 
Let's see what other members who has Macaws think. @MJGB - MikeJenGaryBeckyBoo and anyone else please. @DizzyBlue

Have you changed anything in his cage/food/floor coverings and so on, or anything you use on yourself or in the home.
Is it a dehumidifier that you have.

It could just some little thing that has changed and affects him.
 
Is you get an avian vet? If your vet is a general vet or an exotics vet then go to an avian vet.
Any discharge like your describing isn't normal and needs thoroughly investigating.
 
Possible reasons could be.... air fresheners, cleaning products for example. Does Pasha have a cover over the cage at night, had it been washed recently maybe using a scented softener? Using a HEPA air filtering system is good. Our macaws sometimes sneeze due to feather dust if they've been preening.

Yes, avian veterinarian. It doesn't always sneeze. For example, 3 days does not sneeze at all. He's good to eat. He's happy. Her feces is also good.

He has no cage. Yes hepa filter. There is no cleaning smell. I'm paying attention. It doesn't always sneeze. For example, 3 days does not sneeze at all. He's good to eat. He's happy. His feces is also good

His room.

Pasha is so beautiful! That is good you got a humidifier. Another option is putting him in the bathroom with the shower running hot water, so it gets steamy for about 20 minutes, or so. That is good for clearing up nares. A lot of times a clear discharge is just allergies or irritants, or it can be the beginning of an infection which can sometimes take longer than a week to clear up. I would advise you to talk to your avian vet about it if the discharge continues.
