Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have a 1 year and 6 months Cackatoo parrot which was super healthy and active, suddenly 4 days back he started to collapse.
4 days back, at dinner, I was having my meal and he gripped one of the fried chips and had a bite of it. Next morning I woke up and noticed that he's not making his usual noise of movement, when I looked at him he had his eyes closed so I thought he's still sleepy.
I left for work and by afternoon I received a call from hy family that he's closing his eyes, non-active, doesn't eat or respond. By evening I took him to the VET telling them the full story and they gave him 3 injections (antibiotic, another injection for the diarrhea and one more for the intestinal upset) asking me to come for 2 more days for the same injections.
When I asked what's the cause the response was it's either a bacteria or a virus but it's common symptoms caused by the weather change no need to worry.
The 2nd day I noticed that the parrot is vomiting so I informed them and they gave him an extra injection for the vomiting and the vomit reflex and the same was there for the 3rd day.
Yesterday was the 3rd and final day of the injections which I was under the Impression that my parrot will be well by then. As of today morning I woke up and the parrot was vomiting and I notoced that the poop started to get pinkish so I called the VET center again and they asked to come to give him the same injection to complete 5 days if 3 wasn't enough stating that it could be a virus which we cannot treat but this is the best what can be done.
The parrot was a bit active today not as of yesterday and the day before and I noticed he started moving in the cage and trying to eat but he either vomiting what he eats or he just break the seeds and throws whatever inside it.
As the parrot di not eat for the past 3 days and nothing is helping, I took him for another VET center sharing the full story with them, they check his temperature and it was low as 36c I believe.
What doctor said was this poop is most likely blood, he's in danger and his temperature is low so they cannot give him antibiotic, they gave him another 3 injections (to raise the temperature, stop the vomiting reflex and one more) along with that I asked them to forcefully feed him Cerelac (the baby bird food) and the doctor mixed it with some powder which she said will help him get well.
When I put him back to the cage while driving he was unbelievably of no power to the state he wasn't able to stand on his legs, honestly I thought he's dying, I tried taking him he was not able to open his fingers as his leg is not part of him he couldn't move it.
So I got him back him and I'm powering on the small heater which I have keeping it in front of him but he's pooing more and more pinkish colored poop than it was before and he's like a statue even when giving him water he's hardly stretching his neck to drink.
Note: both VETs took no tests than seeing pictures and videos, is there any tests which can be done? Another VET told that they can refer me to another VET for scope.
Anyone knows what should air be doing? How bad is it? Am I losing my parrot?
