Falconeer Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 My Amazon is sneezing a lot. In the afternoon today there was water from his beak as well. it was slightly moist. But the nostrils were dry... but the beak. That too was dry when I fed him an hour ago. I am going to the vet in the afternoon tomorrow that is in about 14 hours time. Anything I can do in the mean time. Keeping him warm for now. My home is always without an AC or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Faisal, I am not a vet and it looks like you may need to consult one about this amazon, even if you cannot get an appointment today you can at least call one to get some advice. Keeping him warm is good. Maybe one of the more experienced members will have some better advice than I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think you need to see or speak to a vet asap. I believe you only got him a few days ago.Are you feeding him yourself? Is his cage New?I am thinking he is being sick, could be a few things. Keep him warm and quiet and get to a vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconeer Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 yes, Judy he is warm and even playing exploring. Even took a bite from his food bowl just now that was nice. Just the sneez worries me a lot. I am staying up tonight. Gotta go to work in 4 hours then I will take time off and go with him to vet from work.

BMustee Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sneezing alone isn't anything to worry about as long as there is no discharge, but the mouth being wet can be a bacterial infection. If you look in his mouth and it looks like there is slim in there then it's in need of a vet. We have a cockatoo at the store we are treating right now with that issue. It was fine one day and the next it was drooling this slightly milky mucuse. We started him on Batril and Nystatin and he is already better...he just needs a few more days of meds and he'll be good as new. I hope your baby isn't sick, but if he is then I don't think your going to have to worry too much sense you are getting him to the vet before things got serious. I'm sure you'll get him all better within days.:kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconeer Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Okay.. here is the update. Took him to the vet today. He got a shot and poop examined and also crop swab tested and nasal thing inside the beak tested for mucus. The funny thing is today his beak was totally dry. :pinch: He also got a shot of some antibiotic. BUT... the doc said it is not a guaranteed thing. (?) Throughout the drive he was sneezing very very little. Was just staring out the window and was fine. After the vet visit a litter low, but thats due to anesthesia I guess. Came home just now, fed him Exact (about 20 ml) and will continue on Baytrill for 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaM Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Maybe it's not guaranteed because the results aren't all in from the testing so he can't be sure he has a bacterial infection? Dry beak is a good sign. Maybe he just had breathed in something that caused some irritation and has now sneezed it out. Keep us posted on his status!

Falconeer Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 The update... I tried to feed him last night but he was just too down from the shot I guess. His poop this morning was dark almost black. So I took him to work with me to show another vet later. All day he was just fine making noises and all. But dark poop scared me. Reached vet in the evening and showed him the old report and the medicine I got for oral use. He said this is what he would have given too. The loss of appetite, and the dark poop is normal cause of the antibiotics he got. Is tired and sleeping now. Also, the vet gave me some vitamins and mineral/electrolyte supplement and told to ad a tiny ammount with the antibiotics dose to help him in case he does not eat for a while. The good news.. Sneezing is completely gone! Thank God and all of you too! Now lets hope he starts eating soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well I'm glad to hear he has been seen by the vet and his sneezing is gone but it might take a while for the antibiotics to work but do keep a close eye on him and keep us informed Faisal.
