Why is my parrot's poop still watery even after giving medicine?

Thanks for reaching out and including a photo. This is not diarrhea but a lack of feces, and only consists of urates, so he is not eating. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give aid. A veterinary visit is needed to provide some diagnostics (radiographs, blood work) to determine a diagnosis and then treatment plan. Start syringe feeding as soon as possible. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Pipo and including photos. The greenish stool is probably due to poor nutrition and possible liver disease. A comprehensive avian profile should be performed to analyze the white blood count and organ functions. Also a test for Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease is highly recommended. This is a virus, non-treatable, contagious to other birds. You need to get better nutrition into him, as apples are fiber and sugar. There are many commercially available baby bird feeding formulas, but as your veterinarian. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Meow. Possibly this is not an infectious problem, so antibiotics and anti-fungal might not help. With an all seed or heavy seed diet, fatty liver disease is possible which will not respond to the medications. Increasing protein and vitamins in the diet could help, as could an increase in dietary fiber. An avian veterinary visit is still recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out Lemon and including photos. Don't think has to do with the fan trauma one year ago. Being weak and lethargic, are only general signs of illness and are not specific for any particular problem. It is often difficult to differentiate between loose stool and polyuria (increased urine), as they often pass both at the same time. This must be examined as the birds passes a bowel movement to identify well formed feces. A loose stool can be the result of an intestinal infection, liver disease, ingested foreign body (particle, toxin, other) and more. Increased urination can be due to increased water intake (behavioral, kidney or liver disease, diabetes (rare), environmental stresses (heat, breeding season, change in diet). Providing supplemental heat in the 80-85 F range, 24/7 can sometimes support the immune system. If the weakness continues, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Pearl. The components of the droppings (feces, urates, urine) can vary during the day, due to diet, or other possibilities. The explained example sound like increased urine and less urates. This could be due to increased water consumption but possibly also due to renal disease. Some intestinal parasites can also modify how the intestines absorb water through the intestinal tract. If the problem persists, an visit to an avian veterinarian is recommended.

Submit a sample to your veterinarian to diagnose parasites or bacterial/fungal overgrowth. Discontinue feeding fruits and vegetables until the stool is normal, then introduce one at a time slowly. Clean and sanitize the cage, bowls, toys and perches. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Use paper towels on the cage bottom and change them daily until his droppings are normal. Provide plenty of fresh, clean water. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible. If he develops lethargy, loss of appetite or if the droppings don't begin to firm up in the next 24 hours, have him examined by your vet or an experienced avian vet.

Without knowing what is causing the stool color change, I would be unable to recommend if an antibiotic is the right treatment or not as a patient-doctor relationship is required along with an in-person exam in order to prescribe medications. Liver disease, and even nutritional changes such as too many fruits or veggies can also cause stool color changes, in which case antibiotics would not help. Keeping Skye warm and eating a balanced diet may help, but ultimately he will need to be seen by a veterinarian in order to diagnose the issue so appropriate treatment can be given.
