My 3 year old SI Eclectus has developed a persistent intestinal tract bacteria. First noticed in early October when she started making noise when she pooped. Since all bird owners keep a close eye on poop, I also noticed that there were bubbles in her poop. Actually, the bubbles are in the urates. Went from normal poop to white splotchy with normal fecal to lumpy fecal with little liquid.
Blood chemistry shows high liver enzymes-the start of fatty liver disease.
Biopsy showed start of fatty liver disease and some signs of bacterial damage. On metronidazol for two weeks. Started to clear, then came back. She originally weighed 404 grams and is now down to 370 and holding. Probably a much better weight.
