My bird has fatty liver. Why is her poop watery and she's depressed?

Question

Hi, my longbilled corella was diagnosed with fatty liver disease about 18 months ago. She has always had fresh food and pellets but too many seeds until then. Now she is on pellets most of the time with veggies. Now in the last few days her poos have a lot of water around them. She seems depressed. Only wants cuddles. Is hot here. No increase in water intake. Not eating as much as she was. Have taken pellets away but still no better. Did same with pellets only and stilll watery. Thank you.

I would bring her in for a recheck exam with the vet that first examined her and diagnosed her and get some bloodwork done to recheck her liver values. Diarrhea or changes in stools can sometimes indicate that something isn't right, and if you've already tried changing her food around without success it's time for an exam. Your vet can also help rule out more common issues such as internal parasites that may also cause watery stool to occur. Moving her to a cooler area if it's too warm may also help. but if her symptoms don't resolve, or worsen, seeking vet care is best.
