I personally would get her checked out by an Avian vet just to be safe. I've never known a parakeet to regurgitate liquid unless ill, it's usually solid seed or food from their diet.

Hi. Vet say upset stomach. Gave a gel probiotic. Getting better. But after coming home from the vet , two days was scary for me. She got very quiet and very sleepy Wouldn’t come down from upper perch to lower perch. She get little excited when I brought water bowl to her. She drank a lot but no eating. She started to eat after 2 days. Now it is almost a week since the vet visit. She is getting back to normal. Also he said she is little overweight She is 45 grams. She is supposed to be 30 grams. So now I only feed her once a day instead of twice day

Hi. I do have an avian vet in my area which I’m very lucky to have. I have been going to him over 25 yrs. I used to have an Amazon parrot from my childhood. I trust him completely. He is best birdie doctor !
