Lots of seeds in poop HELP?

[Cath1068]

This morning while doing my normal bird routine one of my new societies passed a poop that has ALOT of seeds in it. I also found one that is very very green. I had treated them all with ronivet 12% for 7 days last week. What do you suppose is going on ? I am ready to order whatever med I need for this. They dont sit fluffed or halp open eyes. They seem bright, energetic and do eat and drink. I still have their heat light on. Any ideas ?

Thank you in advance
Cath

2 things come to mind-gizzard worm treated with moxidectin or megabacteria treated with nilstatin. However undigested seed can be syptomatic of other things as well. If it were me, without vet diagnosis and trying to avoid further medication, especially as they are not fluffed up, I would give the bird/s:

Day 1 probiotic (to restore gut balance after your medication treatment already administered)

Day 2 and 3 diluted Apple Cider Vinegar at the rate of 3ml to 1ltr water to slightly acidify the gut. (makes the gut chemistry unconducive to megabacteria)

Day 4 Probiotic

Day 5 review

It really is a relatively crude approach but has worked for me before. I would be reluctant to recommend ANY medication without an appropriate qualified diagnosis, especially after you have medicated already for 7 days. I hope this is of some use

Very good and sound advice.
