Thank you so much for listening.Watching your dog throw up is unpleasant, but it can provide valuable insights about his health. I also have a cockatiel (male pied, Pikachu) who is 4.5 years old, and 2 budgies who are about 3 and 6 years old (Kiwi and Sunset). He is a normal green cheek and he's 2.5 years old ![]() He still bit me when I reached into his cage, true conure fashion haha. I am SO THANKFUL I found this post with someone who had their conure do this too, and when I searched posts it seems months later Jojo was just fine.Īpollo seems to be acting totally normal, he's devouring nutriberries (vet recommended diet for the next two weeks, he usually eats Roudybush mini) and drinking and pooping. He also really likes the nystatin medicine and will take it straight from the syringe, how weird is that? haha It's important to note that this was DEFINITELY not normal regurgitation behavior! He was vomiting and clear fluid was stringing out of his mouth. Oh yes, I'm no novice, but I have never seen a bird throw up clear liquid like that before - I did find several people who experienced this when I googled (like this post!) but man.so scary! I'm thinking the chop I made for him was kind of heavy on the oatmeal and beans and was a little pasty.and maybe he ate too much of it over the past week and it just got backed up in there and he couldn't clear it out. ![]()
