Here is my parrots named piku he is over a year old. Recently his poop was a little watery i took him to a specialist he gave him antibiotics. He was all good but in the last two days he has been sleeping i took him to the specialist again he said the medicine will continue for 3-4 days if it doesn't cure him he would give him different ones. His nose isn't read he breaths normally too. Now i have to hand feed him because he isn't eating anything. What should i do? He is sleeping like this for the most of the day. I keep him warm by using a heater is that a good idea? 😥

Antibiotics MUST be taken for the full length of the treatment. If you stop early, you are just killing off the weak bacteria, and the strong ones live and come back even worse!

Anything you can do to get food and water into your parrot is needed. You might want to try feeding some baby parrot formula to him. You don;t want himto start dropping weight while he is sick.

Keeping him warm is a good idea, his body can concentrate on getting well, instead of trying to keep himself warm.

Not unusual for a sick parrot to sleep, a lot. His body is fighting an infection.
