Why is my budgie's poop green and watery? Will Ronidazole help?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male

My budgie Skye has been producing a green and sometimes bit of liquidish poop. I am wondering if this particular bird antibiotic medicine that I purchased, Ronidazole, will work. From my research online, I found that this may be an infection or some sort of liver disease. I am currently not in the position to visit a veterinarian, so any help on here would be appreciated.

Without knowing what is causing the stool color change, I would be unable to recommend if an antibiotic is the right treatment or not as a patient-doctor relationship is required along with an in-person exam in order to prescribe medications. Liver disease, and even nutritional changes such as too many fruits or veggies can also cause stool color changes, in which case antibiotics would not help. Keeping Skye warm and eating a balanced diet may help, but ultimately he will need to be seen by a veterinarian in order to diagnose the issue so appropriate treatment can be given.
