My little boy has come down with Chlamydophilosis. His eye became infected last week so I took him to the avian vet on Saturday and his infected eye was still black but today it has gone red I am giving him medicine called Sulfatrim orally, but he doesn't open his mouth willingly now he knows that when I pick him up it means medicine! Does it get worse before it gets better or is it a slow process?

Any advice on anyone else's budgies who have had Chlamydophilosis would be really helpful because I'm worried about him. I think I'm being too impatient as he's only been having medicine for a couple of days.

Yes the vet has warned us. We've been washing our hands everytime we handle him. It's not easily caught is it?

Hi, thank you all for the advice. I sadly came home from work today to find out he had passed today I do have another budgie is now alone, can anyone offer any advice on when or if to introduce a new budgie? I don't want her to become depressed now he's gone They were in separate cages as my male budgie wasnt well but always communicated to each other.
