hi..
i had a male lovebird. he was just four years old. he was very energitic, happy and he loved people and music a lot. about 17 days ago he stopped speaking. after 3 days, he suddenly started fluttering. he was as if trying to reach his back in a rush and he was flapping his wings and then he suddenly lost his balance and fell on his back. i realised that he had diarrhea. i called the vet and he told me to give him antibiotics. he told me i could give little amount of PENOS antibiotics in water. that night he slept well. in the morning i called the veterinary faculty to get information. they told me to stop giving PENOS(it has peniciline). so i took him to another vet. he told it may be because of the ink(i used to put newspaper on bottom part of his cage) or because of a disease in his nervous system. Bicirik(my lovebird) was having crisis. he was flapping and losing his balance and falling on his back. the new vet gave 2 kinds of vitamin and an antibiotic. i gave him his medicine everyday regularly for 8 days. after the first day his crisis stopped.8 days later the vet told me to stop giving the medicine. during these 2 weeks he had really good appetite and no crisis.and also for two weeks he slept!!!! and he was really suffering from diarrhea !!! i have asked the vet many times and he told me that it may because of the side effect of the antibiotics. he said the antibiotics not only killed the harmful bacteria but also killed the good ones. two days ago he started speaking. i was so happy. i thought he was recovering. when i went next to him; he used to come next to me give me kiss but that day he did not come. i saw that he wanted but he had no power. i thought he would be better the next day. yesterday i took him to work because i thought he was fine. in the middle of the day he started struggling and flapping again and did not stop. in and hour time he was tired. he was as if having paralysis. he died at the end....
i am so sorry and what is so sad is that i really dont know what i did wrong???????
can you please tell me what happened??????
