My budgie has green poop, no vet. Can I use my bird antibiotic?

Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male

Hi again! I just asked a question about my budgie that has been producing green feces with a bit of liquid at times, and I forgot to add that I have an antibiotic made for birds here at home. I am planning on treating my bird with it to cure the possible infection. I currently do not have access to a vet, and don’t think I would be visiting one soon. I would appreciate if you get back to me about the matter, thank you!

You need to tell us what the antibiotic you have. We cannot give you any advice without that information. You need to understand that not all antibiotics treat every kind of infection. We don't even have a diagnosis for Skye there is no way to know if it will even work.
