Hello everyone! I have two conures about 5 and 3 months each. The younger one (Kiwi) has been acting strange for the past week or two. I have no idea what is wrong with him and I truly appreciate any advice you have. I have been hand feeding him and stopped about 10 days ago as he is grown up now and can eat on his own.
He has been pooping really strange where it comes out light paige or brown as a single piece like toothpaste. I initially ignored it thinking it was from the formula. However, he is still pooping like that and when it is left for couples of hours it becomes darker and dries out like a play dough. Really sorry for the description.
I was advised that he may have intestinal nematodes (round worms) and I have already given him the treatment a week ago. On the first day of the treatment, he vomited white liquid and I thought it is from the treatment meaning it is working. His poop got better but back again worse. Now I’m not sure what to do.
He also has been eating way too much, like all the time. I refill his food about 3 times a day now as he is never full. I have kept my two conures in one cage for the past week to get them to know each other and the older one seems to be in great shape; he hasn’t caught anything. I have had Kiwi for about 2 months now.
Lastly, today is the first day his poop was black when it came out and he has been standing on one leg alternating between right and left. I am very very worried and I do not have very experienced avian veterinarian around my area.
Thank you so much for reading
