Why is my budgie still vomiting after a month with no improvement?

Thanks for reaching out about Bluey and including photos. The cause of the regurgitation needs to be discovered. Primary reasons that are likely are heavy metal toxicity, ingested foreign bodies, mega-bacteria and more. A veterinary visit for radiographs and blood work is recommended. Heavy metal should show up well on radiographs. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Piku and including photos. Vomitig can be caused by many things, of which liver disease is one. Ingestion of toxic compounds (zinc, lead, other foreign bodies), renal or liver disease, some viral disease. A veterinary visit is recommended, today, as small birds can not go long without eating as they have few energy reserves. Good luck.

Thanks for your question about Sara, and thanks for the photos as well. I would agree that the droppings do not appear normal. The feces look to be very dark, and there is extra urine present. If Sara's feces are typically dark, this can be related to diet, but when we see dark feces in birds, we become concerned that it may be digested blood (called melena). The increase in urine may occur if she was drinking a lot, but we also become concerned about stress and how the kidneys are working. This, combined with the vomiting would make me concerned that Sara is sick. Even though the signs have cleared, I would recommend having Sara evaluated by a veterinarian. The medication that you are giving currently is a vitamin supplement, but if there is something more serious going on, it will not be sufficient to treat it. Depending on what your veterinarian finds on examination, they may recommend evaluating a sample of the feces to see whether there is blood in it or not, and may recommend a blood test to evaluate the kidneys. I hope that gives you a place to start, and I wish you and Sara the best of luck!

Thanks for reaching out about Pudgie. Regurgitation can be behavioral but also possible illness such as metabolic disorders (liver, renal), toxicities (zinc, lead, plants, etc.), crop infections or impactions and more. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation/ infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

Thanks for reaching out about Fandogh and including images. Anti-emetic (anti-vomiting) medications can be given by injection, so might reduce/stop regurgitation, that can then allow oral medications to be given. Subcutaneous fluids might have to be given to maintain hydration. Were follow up radiographs taken after the initial ones? A gastrointestinal foreign body must still be considered. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Zap and including a picture. Regurgitation is common with birds who have ingested something toxic or causing a partial or complete obstruction. Metablic diseases such as renal or hepatic diseases can also cause regurgitation. Crop infections (bacterial, yeast or fungal) can make them nauseous. These small birds can not go too long without digesting food. Unfortunately there is little that can be done at home,, so finding a veterinarian with avian experience. By the map, you're not too far from Tacoma, but might have to travel to Seattle for a veterinarian. Good luck.
