chezron Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Brutus is pooping liquid. Gold-colored liquid and I am worried. What should I do? Please advise. If it were daytime I could take him to the vet, but I can't now. Help!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 The office i take him to is open 24 hours so we just spent the last few hours in a room at the vet's office. He started to poop completely normal after about an hour, and I made sure he did it a couple more times before I took him home. I think he is okay, but i will keep a close eye on him just to make sure. I looked all through the house to see if he could have gotten into to something, but nothing was different. The only thing i can think of is I was gone later than usual and maybe he was upset and/or I put red palm oil in his food and maybe there was a chunk that i didn't mix up well? I will make sure and heat it a little so it will mix better next time. In the winter it is difficult to mix well into food. I hope he is truly okay.

Greywings Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 He may have just consumed too much water or fruit both will make for watery droppings. Do let us know how he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah, it sounds something similar to what our birds will do every once in a while. We freaked the first few times but we also noticed that all three knuckleheads would have the same thing which meant they were all getting it from the same source. I usually attribute it to fruit or real juicy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) He is spunky and just fine today. His morning bomb was completely normal. I guess I over-reacted. I have seen unusual droppings before and rapidly connected their appearance with a colored fruit or whatever he had just eaten. No problem. I guess because i hadn't been home to witness what he had been consuming made my a little crazy. I think I NEED a life. I started taking a backpacking course and am now gone in the evening one night a week, which is my attempt to meet like-minded people (hopefully, some single men) and to experience some beautiful places.

SRSeedBurners Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Fortunately your Grey is your life (part of it anyway) and I say that's not a bad thing. Don't know what I'd do without my little Grey girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Glad everything is OK! I just saw this. I totally understand how you feel. Every time Timber does something "out of the norm" I watch him like a hawk and worry. Better safe than sorry though I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 So glad to hear that he's doing better today! I don't think you over-reacted at all. You are taking amazing care of your precious baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Glad this sounds like it's over & done & "just" a scare. Very glad for you both! The problem w/birds is there really isn't any "over reacting" to a lot of symptoms. They don't give us much, if any warning about being sick. It doesn't sound like you were anything other than a dutiful parront who got very lucky this time. Thank goodness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Chezron...so glad you pay attention, and know when something is abnormal! Now.... as far as starting to backpack, meeting new people.... have I got a group for you! Not me.... but my sister... when she comes to visit me... she meets this group of people that she doesn't know. They backpack, bicycle, and other activities!Its national, so I would have to get details from her. She has had two knee replacements, and has become a bionic woman! LOL... As the youngest of three girls... I still have to pluck her from the ocean when we go on vacation, but I am very proud of her for getting her weight down from 300 pounds down to 142...

katana600 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm also glad this worked out to be nothing to worry about. You know him better than anyone and if something is off, it's far better to go in to the vet and get ahead of it. As for the backpacking class, good for you! It's a great way to meet active people and who knows where it will lead. Another interesting outdoor kind of hobby my sister introduced me to recently is geocaching. You can google it, it's a bit like a treasure hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Thank you for your support! I really couldn't have lived with myself if I hadn't taken him into the vet's--around midnight--thank you very much. I am so glad he is fine. He cracks me up everyday and I think he is the cutest bird to walk and fly on this earth! Truly, he makes my heart swell to twice its size every time i look at him. I treasure every moment we spend together. I am thankful he is healthy. Edited February 2, 2015 by chezron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
