This is bad. Buy some Ornacyn Plus (Wal-mart, K-mart, Petsmart) and mix it double strength for the next couple of days. Put a light on the cage. Heat is a sick bird's best friend. Talk to him softly. He can feel your concern and love. This is what any good vet will tell you. Has his stool changed in color and consistancy, and smell?If so, take him to the vet NOW. The odd smell can mean he has picked up parasites. Immediate treatment is urgent.
If the stool is ok, but on the third day if he's not doing well, then take him to the vet.
Their life span is up to 18 years. How old was he when you got him?

I see you understood :-) She does look ill to me and as you could of course tell too. She's huddled and diarrhoea is by no ability good in any animal yet incredibly birds. The watery eye is purely one symptom which you will likely comprehend became one in all quite a few whilst the vet starts asking questions. Birds cover their ailment till they get somewhat ill. You look to recognize you prefer a vet so asap you could desire to get her there. Separate them and wash your hands between interactions and if the chook touched your outfits substitute them too. i offered a ill budgie from a puppy shop no longer understanding because of the fact she became stressful and shifting around and the human beings do no longer permit you carry the chook and verify them over till now purchase. yet as quickly as I have been given her homestead it became in the present day glaring something became heavily incorrect and luckily the shop i offered her from had a 7 day return coverage so she went back and that i chosen yet another chook and he or she became and nonetheless is surely healthful. if to procure the chook given to then you i think you could no longer take it back yet she does prefer a vet somewhat urgently. A healthful chook is often off the mattress and busy busy busy!!!

Keep him warm. What i do is add a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of sugar in the water dish and stir it. In a few days the bird recovers and becomes healthy again. dont forget to put a VERY SMALL AMOUNT!!!
If you put too much then the results will be bad.
About 1/1000 of a teaspoon
