What are you feeding the parents?

Are you medicating them as you mentioned in the previous post?

It looks like 3 eggs are fertile and if the pinkish egg is the last egg it is either infertile or too young to show fertility yet. Also you NEED more bedding in the box...at least 3" deep. Woth the little you have the eggs can't maintain as much heat and they could die.

As to the mother, she looks like possibly she may have a yeast problem, and giving antibotics are only going to make it worse. AND if the dosage is too strong it can shut down her liver and kill her. STOP any medicating. If you have probiotics or acidopholis (sp) sprinkle this on ALL food the parents will eat for several days.

Below are some pix's (click for a larger veiw) of some bugs that can be dound in the nestbox. The black beetle gets in to eat old poop. The other insects are a result of the inside of the box getting wet and humid inside. BUT...none of these cause disease. They are just scavengers of poop.

the friend of me insisted to put the tetracycline pill in the water n I did .. she drank it several times but I cleared the water bowl IMMEDIATELY when I read ur post !! I think it's a yeast problem !! I put bollied eggs, celery , sometimes wet bread , but they eat none of those but the Decent Diet I put only ...

Now the mother is just eating she doesn't stop eating !! n still the same condition .. I hope the medicine I put doesn't affect on her ... I'm not feeling good about it !

Do I go to the pharmacy for the probiotics or acidopholis ?
I'll do that ! I hope it's gonna work ! her beak is way sticky I donno why the food is stuck to her beak ! I think I need to bring her out n clean it !

P.S. she is not doing a poop ! only little tiny white drops !!

and yes I got those bugs in their ex nestbox .. n I'll increase the bedding once the father leaves the nest box to eat.. the mother doesnt get to the nest box ..

Ok I couldn't find the probiotic n acidophollis in the pharmacies ! they even haven't hear about probiotics ;/

any alternatives? like a natural alternative or something ? I'm too worried about my birdy ..

This is what I have done in the past. You can go to the pharmacy and get the acidopholis capsule. I open and dump the powder from 3 capsules in a gallen of water. I use this for the drinling water for about a weak. Refrigerate the mixture between use. Change the water 3 times a day so that it is always fresh.

If the poop is tiny white drops it could also be the medication, or from the eggs (a protein source) is affecting the kidneys. Adding 1 rsp of cranberry juice to the drinking water may help.

All the soft foods given (wet bread, egg etc.) may be the cause of the yeast problem with the mother. Don't give anymore foods that are wet or contain moisture. Stick to the basics such as seed, spray millet, pellets...all dry foods.

Ok what u think about Vit.E and Vit.C ??

 

[Kiki]

They actually doesn't eat bread, eggs n such similar food ! they r stuck on the seeds !!!
from tiiiiiiiiiiiime to time the father gets some bread !

Acidophollis Capsules !! The pharmacies doesn't even know what I'm talkin about ! they are correcting it with FOLIC ACID ???

This is so annoying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a healthfood food nearby. You can ask for probiotics or acidopholis there.

 

[Kiki]

No we don't have ...

What about Yogurt ? or I got Yeast Pills I can melt in water .. is it going to help somehow ? which one could be better ?

 

[srtiels]

If the birds will eat yogurt that would be great. I'm not sure how effective the yeast pills will be. Years ago before Nystatin was used for yeast breeder/people were using human Yeast (like monstat, vagasil, etc.) tabs and dissolving them with water.

Great ! thanks alot !! I'll dissolve the yeast pill into the water ....
But would they have side effects on the male? If I dissolved the pill into the water bowl n left it there for both ?
How often do I change the water ? N for How long should I keep it there?

Thanks in advance

 

[srtiels]

I'm not sure if the yeast pill would make the water taste funny. If it taste bad the tiels may not drink it....so taste it to see how it tastes.

Just an estimate but you might want to dissolve 1 pill to a quart of water....that way it is not too strong. I know if the dosage of Nystatin is too strong it causes stmach craps/pain with tiels....so going the 1 pill to 1 quart will filute the pill enough not to be too strong.

Change the water 3 times a day.

Before ur reply I did it, n I tasted the water it was totally normal !
But I dissolved it into a half bowl of their water ! I was too scared that It would be strong !

The mother had some, n drank the water ! now she is in the nest box ! for a while ! hopping she starts to feel better ... I donno ...

Thanks alot Srtiels for all ur replies n time ! Appreciate it
