Glad to hear he's doing better!
Good luck with the oral meds. Watch out for that beak! I have a scar above the back of my thumb where a tiel sunk her beak in and wouldn't let go. Of course, I was catching her for a customer and couldn't start screaming my head off because of the pain at the time, lol. Instead I smiled (probably grimaced) and gently detached her before placing her in the box.
Wow... It's bad when we can do better diagnosis that the actual 'expert' and 'professional' can. Hopefully you get the Baytril soon. Really wish I could get stuff like that here.He got me around the towel the first time I gave him his meds. Luckily he's not usually too bad - he did break the skin, but he let go and it only left a little mark. He could have been much worse if he wanted!
The tetracycline isn't agreeing with him, I don't think. He seems more miserable than he did Sunday. And he has been having watery poop and it's covered the bottom of his tail.
I called the vet - and I don't know if I already said this but I don't really like this vet, he didn't actually go to school for birds so I don't 100% trust him, but since my old avian vet retired he's the only vet within an hour that does birds and I NEEDED Rowan to get antibiotics, so, ugh - and said that I think the tetracycline isn't agreeing with him and we should switch antibiotics.
To Baytril, would have been my choice, and that's what he got shots of anyway so I don't really know why the vet went with tetracycline for the oral meds. Instead he said to stop the medicine and call him with an update tomorrow.
And, after doing some research online, it looks like tetracycline doesn't even usually work for the usual respiratory diseases that cockatiels get and isn't even really used for them; doxycycline is. Jeez.
Whatever, I ordered Baytril online last night. I usually have it on hand anyway, I just can't find the bottle I have.
