Today Eagle has very watery poop and some of them has no feaces in it just water with some uria. The white uria is white and the poop is a light brown colour (like the colour of millit) and some are a tiny bit greenish. He seems to have some water poops then a watery poop with a little bit of feaces in it, then one with more feaces init them back to water poop again. He was talking to me this morning and giving me kisses, earlyer on he was sleeping next to ada but he was a bit fluffed up so i gave them some gardian angle in there water. Ive not seen him drinking but i dont spend as much time up there then i use to do. Theres food in the bowl and they have a millit spray up, not had any veg untill just now when i got them out to play i gave them some wet parsley and eagle was bathing in it and was rolling around all over it having fun, then was tired for a bit. He was quiet when i was drying my hair when normaly he would be calling along with ada. Nothing new in the cage but the last few weeks he has been playing with there shredding toy but i got that from rachel on here so there wouldnt be anything bad in it. I gave the cage a clean just now and they were booked in to see the vet monday morning anyway for adas beak to be clipped but not sure if i should try to get him booked in with his vet tomorrow who will be at a diffrent pratice. His vet said he proberly had a liver issue as when he was younger his poop kept changing all the time, so he has milk thisel in his water but reasontly i have been forgetting to put it in as i do there water at night and ive ad a few late nights so i dont know if that is the cause.
So generaly normal just a little bit quieter some times, he ate some millit and parsely but the poops are consurning me, especialy as i had a bad dream last night where he died in my dream.
what do you guys think?

Take away the veggies and the shredding toy as a precaution. If you can get to the vet earlier, I'd do it.

just read online pooping very watery poop could be a sign of kidney problems, is there anything spersific i should expect or ask the vet to do? he wouldnt take blood for tests form eagle befor as he says he is too small (27g-29g) so the amount he would need to take would be a lot for him to lose.
off to bed now, if he is still the same in the morning ill find out what pratice he is at and see if there are any left over appoitments.

His poop seems better today most have feces in and most of those it's a good amount but still wetter than adas. But he seems quiet this morning His vet is over in Haverfordwest so I've booked him in there and will have to take home to work with me as I won't have time to come home. Never been over there before so hopefully the satnav can find it.

I would say cut out the vegetables for a week or so and see if that helps. I am sure your vet will say that too anyway can't see the shredder toy causing a problem though x

I was wondering if perhaps he had been eating it or something daft like that. But the custom toy you made him is still scary Rachel lol
Eagle says thank you for the good luck wishes, he was a brave boy at the vets. He checked eagle's poop and didn't find anything there, gave him a once over and agreed some sort of kidney trouble. Weather or not it's linked the the virus that causes his beak and feather disease or not he can't say but if it is, all he can do is to support his kidneys the best he can. So hopefully it's not. He gave him an injection to help with his kidneys, think it was called something like anerbiotic steroid (sounds like antibiotic) and also some baytril for his water just in case it's a infection. He said it won't do Ada any harm if she drinks it too so I don't need to separate them. Ada also had her beak clipped while we were there. He said it will take a bit of time to kick in but he would expect him to be getting better in 48 hours and to see how he is on Monday-tuesday and take it from there.
Eagle didn't even shout when he had his injection but he did want his mammy. Ada is of course making the most of it and has been picking on him today and has been pecking him but the one chance he had to get her when she slipped and got stuck between two perches he didn't even attempt anything so that shows he isn't feeling right lol.
He seems fine one minute then down for a bit then ok again.
Fingers crossed this stuff all works, it's his birthday next month as well so he needs to be back to full health to celebrate.

Anabolic steroids is the word you were looking for, PP. Hope he is back to full health in time for his big day.

I think the watery poops are a sure sign of kidney problems. I have had a couple of budgies like that before who were treated with baytril initially as Eagle is, (just incase of infection) but it didn't clear up the poop problem. I found they drunk far more water than the other budgies and relished plenty of watery veg such as sweetcorn and celery. I suppose if the kidneys are not functioning well they need to flush through as much as possible. I hope he improves soon x

His poops seem to be getting better, most have good amounts of feaces in it and some even look normal for him, but the colour is all over the place, think thats from him not having his milk thisel drops for his liver so phoned his vet today to ask if i can give both the milk thisel and baytril in the water and he said he wouldnt imagin it causing a problem so will be starting his milk thisel drops again.
But in himself he is still up and down, neither wanted to come out for budgie time last night and eagle was sittign puffed up shivering, then when i was drying my hair he pirked up a bit. He also then fell off the top of the cage trying to climb back down but he missed the perch, the fall got a normal poop out of him at least. This morning he was full of it and he and ada were head bobbing and kissing.
Brought them 3 treat sticks to cheer them up.
