Hello, hope some can shed some light on what's wrong with my budgie. Uncovered her this morning and her tail was drooping down, she was leaning forwards and seemed like her head was too heavy drooping down also until it gets to a point then she lifts her head again. She was leaning on the perch, but not in the way she occassionally does when she is content. She didn't seem to have eaten overnight and when I put her in a hospital cage she made a white, runny poop. Since then have held the food tray to her and she has eaten some, and eaten some millet also. Took her to the vet this afternoon who wasn't an avian vet (only vet available) and gave baytril solution 2.5% diluted to 1.25% solution. One 'drop' daily (I gave 0.05ml), she offered to give it in water and I said I wanted to give it orally. Little Bird tried to vomit it back but think she got some down. Anyone know what could be the cause?

HI neesh86 and welcome to the forum, but sorry to hear that your budgie is unwell. I am not an expert, but I have read that white poo can be a sign of pancreatic problems, so this is potentially serious. Have a look at this: www.birds-online.de/gesundheit/gesallgemein/indikatorkot_en.htmMost general practice vets are not very good with birds. Can you track down an avian vet where you live? It is helpful to know where you are so that we can point you in the right direction if we have members in the area.
