We have two parrots, one male and one female, but I don’t know which has diarrhea; I bought cephalosporin and penicillin at the vet, but which to use and what dose? Thank you.
If unsure which parrot has diarrhea, separate and observe, or check the vent area for adhered stool. Once identified, keep it warm and give probiotics and antibiotics per label or vet advice to avoid overdose.
