my budgies have vomited yesterday , what is reason. Pet's info: Bird | Lovebird | Female

My budgie threw up. Why is my parakeet vomiting? Should I worry?

Hi there, Money is a bit tight right now, so I am trying to figure out if I need to take my budgie to the vet. I noticed a few days ago that his tail seemed to be bobbing slightly more than normal, though not too vigorously. He is a bit skittish, so

Thanks for reaching out about Kiwi. Tail bobbing is often associated with breathing difficulty. This can be due to a respiratory infection, enlarged organ (liver, spleen), nutritional deficiencies or excesses (overweight) and others. Regurgitation can also be a sign of illness, with the above mentioned or ingested foreign bodies, toxicities. A veterinary visit is recommended, especially if continues to regurgitate or have increased breathing problems. Good luck.

My budgie has been shaking her head and being sick spraying undigested seed around she has been on and off doing this but now appears fluffed up and unwell I have taken her to a vets but they do not do blood tests and have given her antibiotics to p

Thanks for reaching out about chicken. A radiograph should be taken as ingested foreign bodies. Small pieces of metal with lead or zinc, are very common causes of regurgitation in birds. These metals usually show up well on radiographs. Other foreign bodies can cause gastrointestinal obstructions, resulting in vomiting. Liver or kidney disease, a viral disease called avian bornavirus are other possibilities. Antibiotics in the water are a poor choice for administration as there is no control over dosing. Sick animals drink little water. A veterinarian with more avian experience is recommended. Good luck.

My bird, tweety who is about 7 months old have just vomited. When I looked at the vomit I saw whole pieces of the seeds that he had always eaten as if he just swallow up them without even chewing them. Tweety lives with an other budgie, Rico who is

Vomiting is very concerning, and if it happens again I would recommend bringing Tweety into your local vet for an exam, especially if he is showing any other signs of illness such as listless behavior, not wanting to eat or drink, etc. Moving him to a hospital cage if he continues to act ill can also help prevent his cagemate from picking on him and making things worse. Sometimes, a sexually mature or interested bird may regurgitate, rather than vomit, if they are trying to show interest in another bird. It is possible this is what you have seen, however if he vomits again, or shows signs of illness it is best to seek care to rule out any more serious issues.

My parakeet has been throwing up large amounts of undigested seeds for the past hour off and on. it is violent and she's swinging her head side to side quickly and i keep hearing the seeds clinking against things on her cage. I had her in my hands a

Thanks for reaching out about Marley Romans. Vomiting has many causes including foreign body ingestion and blockage, toxicities (heavy metals, plants, teflon exposure), metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), infections (bacterial, viral) and others. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid but is not in lieu of a veterinary visit. If continues to regurgitate, an emergency visit this evening is recommended. Good luck.

Bird pop is with blood

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly anti-parasite treatment may be needed.

Hello vet, this is Jasmine. My parakeet Bluey has fallen ill for a nearly a month. We have brought him to the vet but the medicine didn't work. Today, I did some research on how to treat Bluey from his severe stomache and vomiting and it turned out t

Thanks for reaching out about Bluey and including photos. The cause of the regurgitation needs to be discovered. Primary reasons that are likely are heavy metal toxicity, ingested foreign bodies, mega-bacteria and more. A veterinary visit for radiographs and blood work is recommended. Heavy metal should show up well on radiographs. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. Good luck.

Hi there. My pet budgie Aether flew out of his cage just now. He isn't well acquainted with being outside his cage, and I imagine flew out by accident. No big deal, got him on his perch and took him back to his cage. Problem though, he started bobbin

If he is not accustomed to flying around in any fashion, than I would not be terribly worried by this unless it happens a couple more times. Even though they are birds and you'd think they should not suffer from motion sickness, it definitely can happen in fledglings. Whether or not it was motion sickness, stress, or something else that caused this incident will be evident soon enough it the symptoms continue in any chronic fashion. If this is the case, you will need to track down your nearest vet comfortable with treating avian species.

Nanu is vomiting seeds

Thanks for reaching out about Nanu. A veterinarian needs to be visited. Vomiting in small birds is serious as they have few caloric reserves. Ingestion of foreign bodies, toxic elements, kidney or liver disease, can all be suspect. Good luck.

Is my budgie sick? There have been times in the past when I've seen Pako vomiting, but it usually cleared up very quickly. I think that this time is different because he's been vomiting for 4 days. In addition to that, he has been puffed up, sitting

Getting puffed up and being less active than usual sounds like your budgie is unwell and should be seen by your vet as soon as possible. Birds are very good at hiding symptoms of illness as a natural defense against predators. Your vet will do an exam, possibly bloodwork and based on these results, will have a better idea what is going on with your budgie and how best to treat his condition.

Thanks for reaching out about Piku and including photos. Vomitig can be caused by many things, of which liver disease is one. Ingestion of toxic compounds (zinc, lead, other foreign bodies), renal or liver disease, some viral disease. A veterinary visit is recommended, today, as small birds can not go long without eating as they have few energy reserves. Good luck.
