Hello !
I want to describe our history from the beginning, so that it would be possible to create a general and more accurate picture.
For the new year of 2018, my parrot began to sneeze and a weak wheezing appeared in the nose.
Before, I never contacted veterinarians, as I communicated with our parrot seller (she has been engaged in parrots and birds for 30 years) advised me to give the parrot chamomile flowers with honey, warm it under a blue lamp, and wash my nose with a 0.9% sodium chloride solution or chamomile. So I did, but it did not help and it seemed that he began to sneeze less, but then came back again. as well as the faeces with a lot of water changed and plucked feathers on the tummy.
* And in February I turned to the first veterinarian, she worked with us for two months, did the examination and diagnostics.
1) X-ray in two projections
2) Flushing from the goiter for seeding
3) General blood test
4) Biochemical blood test
5) Feces for protozoa
6) Faeces on Giardia lamblia spp. (PCR) and Cryptosporidium spp
Based on the results of the diagnosis, reduced calcium and phosphorus were detected, and on the basis of X-rays, aspergillosis was diagnosed and there was inflammation in the abdominal cavity.
(from what is inflammation and what exactly is inflamed and how to diagnose no one knows)
of the appointments:
"Voriconazole" 10mg 2 times a day
A week later, they added
Doxycycline 25mg once a day (21 days)
Nystatin 250,000 2 times a day (14 days)
Vitamin "Vinks" 15 drops per drinker + calcium gluconate 4 ml. + 100m of water.
Inhalation with an inhaler (sodium chloride 0.9%) to start 5-10 minutes, if well tolerated, then we can increase to 15 minutes
Tobramycin (eye drops) in both nostrils 2 times a day for 14 days. (stopped dripping on the third day, because it was very scratched (half a night).
+
To this added "Karsil" for the liver and useful bacteria. (I myself added)
After treatment, nothing has changed, but only worse, the feces have become liquid. (diarrhea)
After some time
Have appointed "Metronidazolum"
gave within 5 days.
After
Amoxicillab Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid 250 mg dosage ¼ tablets 2 times a day 7days
I'm terribly scared just to randomly give medication without an accurate diagnosis, I've read a lot of history where the birds died because of these medicines.
Our veterinarian said that she could not help and asked to find another doctor.
Afterwards I went to different veterinarians and called other cities and handed over to other laboratories feces, but everyone answered that it was difficult to diagnose.
The ornithologist and leading veterinarian of the Moscow zoo also looked and denied the diagnosed Aspergillosis but could not help.
We found a new veterinarian in our city, I had high hopes for her, since she works closely with ornithologist Valentin Kozlitin. (

On the examination many times brought feces. (there are pictures and negatives from a microscope)
She prescribed us nystatin 250 ½ tablets twice a day + bytril 2.5% 0.2 ml twice a day and so for 10 days.
(I was constantly worried about the fact that he sneezes and whistles in the nose, and the doctor was worried about more inflammation in the abdomen and bad feces), although it seemed to me connected, that is, there was a sneeze and a whistle and after that a secondary infection appeared.
Again there was a need to re-pass the diagnosis and have already decided to do an x-ray with barium + blood (Biochemical and general blood test)
At that time, the whistling in the nose and sneezing are present, and also the breathing became heavy
Have made this painful inspection which lasted 10 hours, the results of a blood have come and again only the calcium is lowered.

On the X-ray, no one could read, although different doctors looked, there is inflammation in the abdominal cavity and darkening.
Have handed over feces on ornithosis, the results have arrived, negatively.
Still drank "Enterofuril" in liquid form.
After "Fegtal 150mg" (against worms) 1/5 tablet for three days in a row.
And in July, appointed "Tylosin 50" through the nebulizer 2 ml in 8 ml of the solution for 15 minutes and so two weeks.
Now we have finished tylosin, but unfortunately the whistling in the nose and sneezing have not gone away and the feces are bad.
I give now probiotics.
I want to say that it's very hard from the fact that I do not know how to help him, I tried all the medicines, antimicrobial and antifungal, but it all turned out to be wrong.
Very much I am afraid, that can become worse ...
I'm afraid!
Thank you for reading ... .it is our medical history .. for today
