My baby cockatiel is lethargic and drooping after vitamins. Help!

Question

Hello, I've been really worried this morning. I have a pet cockatiel that is almost 3 weeks old. This morning a friend told me to give him vitamins which is designed for fighting cocks because he said it was summer and I need to prepare him. I mixed the vitamins with his formula and now his head ia drooping and he is very lethargic and I dont know what to do. When he walks his head is always drooping. I want to take him to a vet tonight but Im afraid thats not an option because theyre closed. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 18 days old

It is possible that there was something in the vitamins that made him ill, was in too high of a dose, or they weren't administered properly. Since he is now reacting to them, it would be best to seek out his vet or an emergency vet clinic in your area ASAP to get him seen and treated. Until you can get to the vet, keeping him warm and calm and on his regular baby bird food may help, but if he is acting very ill after being given a medication he needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. In the future, it is best not to give any extra supplements or medications to your birds unless instructed by a vet to ensure they are the right dosage and type for your bird to handle.
