Mika seems to be her usual self now, having been on antibiotics all week,Friday was the last day, her droppings are normal White,black and curly, she is still in her own cage at the moment with water,seed and millet, is it normal for budgies to eat when covered up? She is lively and moves about a lot and is sleeping on one foot right now, just seems odd to me.
Am I worrying to much?

Me thinks you just may be, Andy. I know in the morning my birds have already had their heads in the trough, before I get the cover off them (specially in summer as it is lighter sooner). Glad Mika is back to her normal self. How long before she returns to the rest?

Thanks Hezz, I'm hoping to return Mika back to the flock Tuesday, I just wanted to see how she was without the med's, it's just that im panicking a bit as this sort of thing happened to my Belle last year and it was too late, normally if a bird is unwell they puff up and end up staying on the cage floor, Mika is not, I will keep an eye on her as I know sick birds are good at hiding things. I'm sure she is fine.

We all hope so, Andy! Sorry you lost Belle - we do tend to become very protective once there has been even sickness within the birds, let alone a loss.

Mika is not good today, going to take her to the vets this afternoon, to be honest and it will be hard I don't think Mika will make it and think she will pass away before morning, but I'm giving her a chance and fingers crossed the vet will help. I'm 100% she has Megabacteria and this is normally a one way result.

thanks guy's, Mika is a little fighter and is still feeding, just hope the vet will be able to give something for her. I will keep you all posted either way.

Mika is still with us and has returned from the vets, she had a crop wash and samples taken,she has a build up cocci bacteria and no signs of any fungal build up, so no mega bacteria either. She is now on anther form of antibiotic (milky colour) twice a day for 10 days, complete isolation and warmth, the next few hours are critical. She has been eating since about half 4 and is still eating. So fingers crossed she will pull through.

Thanks again guy's, she is in a nice warm place, sleeping with the millet on the cage floor, I know this is not good but I'd like to think she will come good...

All digits crossed for you and Mika, Andy. We are sending positive vibes to Mika, come on little girl. Hopefully the AB's will kick in soon enough and set her on the right track.
