My cockatiel drank vape juice and is spitting up. Is it toxic?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry that Flash is not doing well. These signs are very serious and he needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Antibiotics will do nothing for Flash here if this is traumatic in nature and not infectious. Your veterinarian can then decide what would be best. It is just not possible to tell you if he is dying right now without evaluating him. I am hoping that he does well and they can help you!

I'm sorry that your bird is so ill. This is a definite respiratory emergency. Could be an inhaled toxin like from Teflon or smoke oor a serious infection. Your bird needs heat, oxygen and ER care. Keep warm and upright until you can get to the vet. Do not try to give the bird anymore to eat or drink. Good luck with your sweet baby.

Thanks for reaching out about Rue and including a photo. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range, for aid. Remove perches and place a soft towel on the bottom of the cage. Only provide small amounts of water to drink. This could be a crop infection (bacteria, fungal, yeast), obstruction, toxicity and more. See your veterinarian first thing in the morning to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Loki and including a photo. Repeated regurgitation is concerning. Ingested foreign bodies or toxic causes are common. If it persists, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

Those symptoms are mainly symptoms of nausea, it's common in birds suffering from a gastrointestinal infection, yeast (candida) being the most common cause (but not the only one). you will need to take Nazi to an avian vet specialist ASAP in order to get it treated.

It is possible that there was something in the vitamins that made him ill, was in too high of a dose, or they weren't administered properly. Since he is now reacting to them, it would be best to seek out his vet or an emergency vet clinic in your area ASAP to get him seen and treated. Until you can get to the vet, keeping him warm and calm and on his regular baby bird food may help, but if he is acting very ill after being given a medication he needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. In the future, it is best not to give any extra supplements or medications to your birds unless instructed by a vet to ensure they are the right dosage and type for your bird to handle.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that Baby is having trouble. Sounds like you need to take him to your veterinarian due to the behavior and clinical signs that you are describing. Your vet can perform a physical exam and then advise some tests to try to determine what is going on. They can run some quick tests in house such as a fecal wet mount and fecal smear to evaluate the organisms present. Birds can get something called AGY or Avian Gastric Yeast which can cause these types of problems. Also foreign bodies can be ingested even if the bird is caged constantly from toys, cage covers, etc. A cloacal swab can be obtained and sent out as well as bloodwork and x-rays. Once all of the tests are completed, a sound treatment plan can be put into place. So Sorry you are experiencing this problem with Baby. Good Luck
