An Update....

No improvement, well poo isnt quite as runny but there is an awfull lot of liquid coming with the poo - clear/milky liquid.

Does this give any more indication.....

My vets are not open till tuesday afternoon so she will have to go then. I am still giving the antibiotics

I've re-read this topic and still go with my original ideas

It could be egg bound, peritonitis or a tumour. Does she seem unwell or hot - feel under her wing and compare to another bird.

If she seems well in other ways, not hot, is eating and drinking, perhaps laying an occsional egg, I'd say a tumour of sterile egg peritonitis. Only a vet could tell !

Poo Information topic is under construction :shock:

I have just got back from the vets (50 mile round trip and £15 bill) and the vet said she cant see anything wrong with her. She said she could just be a bit podgy. I have to stop giving them kitchen scraps and carry on with antibiotics then worm as a precaution.

Vet said she had silky shiny feathers and looked clean & well with no mites

Well that sounds like good news Pookey, well worth the trip I'd say
