Good luck to you and your beautiful Conure!

Answer 2

I'm glad you took him to a vet!

I'm not a vet, but you need to make sure that your bird get the antibiotic...birds don't like to take medicine, just like little kids.  You will need to give him the medicine just like the doctor showed you.

He won't drink anymore...are you talking about water?  Birds need to drink water, if he's not drinking the water, it may partly be because he doesn't feel well.  

good luck to you and your bird

Answer 3

I was wondering, who has been hand feeding this bird? I hope you bought him weaned onto food. Hand feeding is a very precise business and it should NEVER be given to someone inexperienced. I hope he's not sick because the breeder wanted you to finish hand feeding.

Is this an avian vet you took him to? Something like Baytril should fix a little 'ol infection,(unless this is something really serious, what food does he want you to use? What illness does your bird have?) so far as I can see there is no such thing as an Rx.226375. He isn't drinking the water because it either looks funny, or tastes REALLY bad! Putting medication in the water as a treatment isn't the best way to treat either, orally is 10x's better. Just mix in some fruit juice to his daily doses with it, depending how bad it tastes you may have to dilute it as much as 1 to 8. That's what it took to get my budgie to take Baytril (and it was already flavored!).

Make sure this is a certified vet, here is a listing of AAV members: http://www.aav.org/vet-lookup/

Good luck with your baby!

Answer 4

i think you need to call your vet again and have your parents help you on the instructions

that rx### isnt a medicine name thats the percription number
