Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male
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 that I had to feed him probiotics. Do you know if probiotics work on his syndrome? If it does, do you know how I can be able to feed probiotics powder to Bluey? Thank you very much. Have a great day.

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.
