Hello. Wonder if someone can help? I have a 12 year old yellow crowned Amazon called Eddie. We brought a budgie for my daughter who died unexpectedly at the end of October after having him since May. We got another one about 4 weeks ago from the same breeder. All seemed well except for an upset tummy that seemed to clear up when we put ACV in her water. On Christmas Day, she was puffed up and sleepy, by 6pm she had died. I then realised Eddie hadn’t been his usual self, nowhere near as vocal, and really sleepy in the day. Had put down his few runny poos down to more vegetables and fruit that I had been giving to both of the birds. Boxing Day I took him to the vet who said he thought It was giardia -and gave me wormer and antibiotics to give him via a syringe. This went pear shaped with me getting more on me than him. By now he has not eaten and or actively drunk anything for days, so took back to the vets after a disastrous attempt to towel him and adminster after watching YouTube videos. Have taken him back each day for meds.
still not eating and he has lost so much weight. Tried to tempt him with grapes/apple juice/scrambled eggs and only nibbled at a grape. Tried to find an avian vet but they all seem to be vets with exotic qualifications, is that the same thing?? Worried about tonight as none of the vets even have that qualification... worried The stress is going to kill him. please please help! I live near Stourbridge, can anyone recommend an avian vet please?
