Severe enteritis — how to manage and treat without specialized bird medicine
If a parrot's enteritis is severe and already shows symptoms like bloody stool, the situation is very dangerous and needs prompt antibiotic treatment. But because the parrot's exact condition is unclear, a targeted treatment plan cannot be given. You can first try feeding the parrot 1/4 of an oxytetracycline tablet and see whether the symptoms ease; if they do, continue the medication. If there is no improvement, you can try an intramuscular injection of 0.2 ml of gentamicin, then observe whether the parrot still has bloody stool. If the bleeding stops, the condition is improving. If there is still no improvement after two days of treatment, the parrot is unlikely to be cured. In addition, each parrot absorbs medicine differently and reacts differently, so the keeper should adjust the dose according to the bird's own condition.
