Last week Piphans started to have fluid droppings and she sleeps alot while she is puffed up. And she have vomit a bit...Clealy sign of sickness. Also she is molting on the same time.
We contacted the wet and she gave us something against bad stomach, so her droppings will be normal again. But she still sleeps alot and have fluid droppings after 3 days with medicine for bad stomach.
Today she started to eat normal again and preen herself. But she is not at full strenght. So tomorrow morning we will contact the vet again and book a visit.
We still have some medicine from last time she was sick. But its seem like it dosent gets better or worse. She dosent vomit anymore, so thats at least one good sign.
She dosent look deadly sick but something is wrong with her and im heartbroken about this situation. I realy hope the vet can cure Piphans tomorrow at any cost !
This evening she was sitting on my finger and was sleeping while i hold her close to my face to warm her. She dosent feel cold or warm like any fever. She leans her head up against my face.
I need to go to work tomorrow, so my mother will take piphans to the vet.
Piphans and me are true soulmates..if she is sick then im also sick...

Thanks alot for ur concerns Today my mother took Piphans to the vet but Piphans seems better today. The vet told us Piphans has a red butt or vent from the fluid dropings she had in the last few days. "Im not sure what the right word are in english with birds". That is also why she is fluffed up in her feathers since it must hurt or sting a bit. So her butt is irritated and red. We must continue to give her the medicine we have. So we will do that 3 times a day for the rest of this week. But today or this evening she ate alot of seeds. She ate a whole handfull from my hand and she even ate some milets in her cage. She jumped in and out of her cage several times to eat a bit and to sit on my finger. And she fly around the playgrounds again. She does look a bit sick still and her feathers are still fluffy and she is not at full strenght yet. But eating and drinking and being more active than the last few days is good signs !

I'm glad Piphans is feeling a bit better. I hope the extra days of medicine helps and she is back to full strength really soon.

Regarding Piphan’s sore vent (that is the correct word for a bird’s butt) you can help her there. A little soothing cream such as Savlon, or even some petroleum jelly such as Vaseline can help soothe the sting. Even a little baby nappy rash cream can be used. These are perfectly safe for her if she does try to pick at her skin, but most will also be absorbed by the skin so there isn’t a lot there to be picked at. You can do this as often as you feel you can or need to, until the redness goes away. Most people have suffered the same thing in their life, and a little soothing cream can work wonders.

Ok thanks for the advise.
But now we think that she has worms ! The medicine isent realy doing anything...Last day her droppings started to have form, but today they are fluid again.
We looked up the reactions to worms and it says birds eats more and have puffed up feather and sleeps and have fluid droppings...This is how Piphans is reacting.
Piphans is eating the whole time..even millets that she normaly dosent eat alot of. We never seen her eat so much and this many times.
We called the vet and they are not bird vets. They say there is a bird vet in a town 2 h away from us and they need some droping sample but now its weekend and they are not there. We only have have a phone number to a vet that can answer the basic questions...useless vets.
Also its difficult for us to drive this far with piphans in a small transporter cage...My mother says she wont drive this far and its her car. So i cant do nothing. Makes me feel like a bad person but here we are.
Do anyone know what we can do to cure piphans for worms ? Like what can we give her ?!
Remember we live in Denmark (EU) and might not have the same products like you have.
Im just so sad...

I feel rotten for you and for Piphans.
If you can get ahold of avian ivermectin, I would try that.

Its hard to find a place where i can buy it ! Due to shipping.
Can you help me find any store or like amazon site.
When i seach avian ivermectin then somthing for pigeons apears. Says Harkers and it says ONLY for pigeons over 400 g
But i dont see any available shipping options. There was one but the shipping was over 100 $ And im not even sure if i would ever get it.

I order this from UK Amazon Fab Finches s76 for Air Sac Birds Mites Red Mite Worms Wormer Lice In Water Treatment (100ml) amzn.eu/d/3Pvz7rcPerhaps you can find an equivalent? Not quick though, I'm sorry. Pet shops here sell ivermectin in the form of drops that you apply to the skin of the bird. Have you looked for that?
