Today Pixie had another X-ray. The barium has gone through and the gizzard was no longer enlarged but the vet still doesn't know what is causing the vomiting so they are going to keep her at the vets for now to try treating her for avian gastric yeast just in case.

Poor little girl. Keeping fingers and wings crossed they find something and it's treatable.

At least one problem has been sorted for poor little Pixie. I really hope the vet is able to define the cause of the vomiting so she can get back to normal asap.

My Pixie bird passed away tonight at the vets. She was at the vets for the past week and a half and seemed to be getting better but the vet found her dead tonight - my poor girl died all alone in her cage Thank you all for your kind wishes and thoughts.

Your bird is in the best place.
This may not be the same symptoms as your bird (Please follow your vets advice)
But a thing for everyone too look out for.
male budgies who are kept as single birds tend to feed mirrors, favorite toys etc. They think that they see a potential partner and they offer him\it some food, which is part of the natural courtship.
But the mirror\toy won't take the food, so the bird swallows it again, then regurgitates it, offers it to the "partner", swallows it again, and so on.
As you can imagine, the mucosa of the crop becomes sore after a while, vets talk about it as a crop irritation.
Birds then suffer from sickness and pain and some of them throw up food.
In our surrounding, you can find bacteria and other germs that normally won't harm us or our pets. But once the mucosa of a bird's crop is sore, these germs have a walk-over effect. The result is an infection of the crop that can be caused either by bacteria or fungus. The crop and gullet soon becomes enlarged, sore, irritated and obviously makes the bird vomit more.
If you see your bird acting as above, Either take the toy out of the cage for a while, or clean the toy\mirror etc with a anti bacterial tissue, or just distract the bird by playing with him when he does it.
This is very common with birds 2yrs and over, but can be a costly vet bill when the bird becomes sick. We have 2 parrots in isolation at the moment with irritated crops, we have had to steam clean the cages and accessories, so it can happen to everyone.
Hope your little one gets well soon. Shewy
