I'm so sorry your little budgie is not feeling well 💙 💙

It sounds like she may have a crop infection, indicated by the mucus vomit, or she could have a GI infection. Also it looks like she has polyuria (increased urine output) based on the droppings with only urates and liquid urine, she is most likely not eating much food. She could possibly have avian gastric yeast (AGY) has she had any undigested seeds or food in her droppings? There are other possibilities as well.

You need to take your budgie to an avian vet, here is a link to help you find one in your area: https://www.aav.org/page/FindAVet2.

You can give fresh fecal samples for a fecal smear and then wet mount, gram stain, or PCR (however for AGY the organism is shed irregularly, so a negative result may not be accurate and several tests need to be performed, often over at least 5 days). The avian vet may perform a crop wash (then analyze the crop fluid under a microscope, or culture the crop fluid). They may take a crop swab, and then perform a gram stain test and PCR as well to test for bacterial and fungal (like AGY) infections. More invasive procedures to assess can involve radiographs or a crop biopsy if more serious conditions are suspected, but that is quite stressful for a little budgie and typically the previous tests can determine the condition of the crop, in the case of an infection, sufficiently. There are many other tests the vet may perform as well. The avian vet can prescribe the correct antibiotic or antifungal medications, or whichever type of treatment she requires.

Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate your advice.

My budgie hasn’t had any undigested food or seeds in her droppings, but her poop still looks very watery and abnormal. Unfortunately, I live in Azerbaijan, and there are no vets here who specialize in birds or have any experience with them.

Is there anything else I can do to help her at home? She’s not eating much now and seems very weak.

Thank you again for taking the time to help

 

My pleasure! Sometimes a general vet will be willing to consult with avian vets in different locations to help diagnose and treat avian patients, and also, perhaps if there is a zoo or exotic animal sanctuary or establishment near you, they may be able to help an avian patient like your budgie.

I hope this helps, and it is my pleasure, I truly hope your little budgie feels better, sending hugs and best wishes for healing 💙 💙

 

Also, for right now at home, you can keep her in a warm smaller hospital cage or container to prevent unnecessary activity, you don't need any perches in there, unless she is more comfortable being on a very low one, but the bottom should have a soft absorbent material like paper towel or a smooth fabric towel. You can place a heating pad on low under the bottom over half of the cage or a heat lamp over half of the cage so she can move away from the warmth if she wants. Provide stable bowls of food and water on the bottom near her as well.

You can soak some spray millet or her favorite vegetables or food in some unsweetened unflavored Pedialyte to encourage her to eat and regain hydration and electrolytes. You can hopefully find the resources previously mentioned and a vet who is qualified can empty and then flush her crop with sterile saline (if she has a crop infection) and prescribe the correct antibacterial or anti-fungal medications or whichever ones she requires, and also administer fluids. After treatment feeding can be resumed with a watery consistency formula, the vet may recommend EmerAid omnivore, given by syringe with soft rubber/nitrile/silicone tip or a bent spoon. Also if your budgie has AGY you would want to avoid sugar since that is a major nutrition source for yeast. It can be very helpful to track her weight using a gram scale every day before her first meal of the day, to ensure that she remains at a healthy weight, about 30-40 g for a standard budgie. If a budgie were to lose even 2% of their body weight in one weighing session that would be very concerning and indicates a need to visit the vet (of course, we do already know that she does need to go to the vet).
