My budgie has a dirty vent, i brought him to the vet, where he was prescribed medication. His poops no longer smell and he no longer has diarrhoea however his poops are now big and dry. Is this something serious?

Normal stools can be a little on the dry side. I would make sure Twitter is also getting enough water daily so that he isn't dehydrated. If his symptoms return, the stools still look off to you, or you see other signs of illness, a recheck with your vet is a good idea.
