My parakeet is vomiting seeds. Should I take my bird to the vet?

Hi and thank you for your question, Vomiting/regurgitation in a parrot is potentially serious. There are many potential causes - lead/zinc poisoning, infections (bacterial, viral, fungal) etc. etc. You really have to try and find an avian vet for this. A good place to start (for the vet) would be to get Xray images and see if Nano has ingested any foreign objects and/or has a very dilated stomach. Regards

Thanks for reaching out about Monu and including photos. Regurgitation can be caused by many thing such as ingestion of foreign material (plastic, fabric, wood, etc), toxic ingestion (lead, zinc,plants), metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), infections and several viral diseases. Each of these have different means of diagnosis and possible treatments, therefore a veterinary visit is recommended. Chronic regurgitation can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, and more, making a veterinary visit even more expedient. Try offering small amounts of food and water, more frequently to decrease possibility of regurgitation. 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.

Vomiting is a very concerning issue, and if Cutie is unable to keep any food down, is losing weight, or is otherwise showing other signs of illness, seeking veterinary care ASAP (and separating her from your other birds into a hospital cage) is best. Infections, GI issues, parasites, crop issues, etc can all be possible causes.

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.

I suggest you refer to this article: ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-and-regurgitation-in-birds-common-causes/ ) An all seed diet is not recommended for any bird. I would suggest a change to a pelleted diet or nutri berries: ( https://www.amazon.in/Classic-Nutri-Berries-Parakeets-12-5-Tub/dp/B0002ARFN8/ref=sr_1_19?keywords=lafeber&qid=1563361804&s=gateway&sr=8-19 ) ( https://www.amazon.in/Lafeber-Company-Parakeet-Pellets-Pounds/dp/B0002ARF3I/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=lafeber+diet&qid=1563361518&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmr0 ) ( https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/questions/switching-from-seed-to-pellets/ ) ( https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-types/?tx_bird-type=parakeet ) If your vet is not used to treating birds then you may want to try and find one that is. Vomiting/regurgitation is never normal in birds and I doubt it is from overeating.

This sounds like Piku is pretty ill and needs to be seen by a vet. Vomiting and lethargy are both very general signs of illness, and since birds are very good at hiding being sick, if Piku is showing visible signs he should be treated by a vet in person. In the meantime, keeping him in a warm hospital cage with access to food and water may help, but if the problem persists, vet care is needed.
