Weird budgie poops

They eat lettuce fairly regularly as well as a seed based diet. Last time they had lettuce was two days ago. Her stool varies from that colour to a darker green colour with the liquid having a yellow/green tinge.

So we went to the vet today. He said that the stools look like she is passing food quickly through her system but there are no other symptoms. He said it is possiblr she is eating too quickly and it is messing with her digestion. He checked for absesses around her abdomen and found nothing. He gave me a vitamin supplement and said to try it out and keep observing them. If she had an infection he said he may expect to see it in bothbirds since they are on the same diet and exposed to the same things. by the end of the week she has not improved he wants me to send in a stool sample and may consider giving her antibiotics. She is active and chipper and aside from the gross poops seems like herself. Hopefully we can get her feeling better soon.

I'm glad she's still acting like her normal self!

Concerning the vet visit, I'm surprised the vet couldn't come to any other conclusions--I've never heard of "passing food too quickly" to cause bright green poop. :S

Was it an Avian Vet you saw?

Also, it is possible it was caused by something she ate that maybe was inconsistent or something, as a one time thing. Are her poops still bright green?

If they are, I think it's very possible it's an infection or disturbance in her system and if their diet has been consistent then I don't think it has to do with what they're eating. You won't necessarily see it in both birds, just like how not all family members have a cold at the same time.

I hope she does improve over the next few days! :fingerx:

Yes he is a certified avian vet. The poops are no longer bright green. Now just soft dark with yellow/green liquid. He said the yellow liquid can sometimes be due to liver issues and enquired about potential Teflon exposure but ruled that out as we do not cooking teflon. He asked me nto to give them any lettuce or treats over the next few days and observe.

He is not a board certified avian vet but is a member of the aav, sorry. Anyways, first sign of any worsening and I will be bringing her stool sample for examination and talking with him about antibiotics.

I hope your bird is ok. I would have expected the vet to do a fecal test on the initial visit and perhaps blood tests if a liver issue is suspected.

Thanks, I appreciate the help!
