dippynikki Posts: 251 Group: Full Members Member #386 Joined: September 2, 2007	I'm very concerned, torres just pooped BLOOD !!!!! its the first time he's done it, and then he went really dosil and quiet. angrey2 Within mins of it happening, torres wouldn't stop snuggling in my hair, trying to go to sleep. Then he eventually fell asleep on my fingers, next to my face. He was asleep for about 5 mins, and when he woke up, he's acting like nothing has happened, flying around, eating and playing just the same. There were no telling signs that torres was hurt, or un-well. Eating just the same, playing the same and not fluffed up, like you would expect. I'm not sure what's going on. and what i should do. I straight away thought, if he's lost blood, he'll need iron, so i've given him some carrot mixer, with some of his iodine block mixed in to help his emune system. But if its serious, i don't know where to go. i don't know where my vet is, or if they even care for bird's. Manchester (uk) is a big place, and i've not been here for long, so i don't know where i'm going :S help please angrey2 nod2 eek.

My name is I'll give you a clue	are you sure it was blood and not red pepper or some thing from his food, also sometimes the minerals block will have bright red parches in them. if hes still up and awake, pick him up and check his vent for signs of blood If you can ring the vet in the morning or if you think it is serious ring now, I can only make a suggestion the decision is yours you have to make it.

Then watch and see what happens. I don't think it takes very long from when they eat the red food or the poop to appear red. This could be diagnostic, I think, just to rule out food being a cause.

I'll check up on torres in the morning to make sure he pooped ok, i'll be able to see from the bottome of his cage , as i just cleaned everything out in fear of it having something to do with the dirt. he seems quiet, but thats because he's tired, just pray to gad i'm not going to wake up to him, cold on the bottome of his cage. angrey2

My name is I'll give you a clue	I'm guessing he just eat something, but as i said if your worried in the morning give the vets a ring. good idea cleaning the bottom of the cage out, if and hopefully there wont be any blood in the morning take the paper with you when you get him checked out. kev :)

I'm so sorry the little guy isn't feeling well...Sounds to me too like it's something he ate...Hopefully that's all it was. I know when my big guys eat something different or unusual, it always makes their poop look different...either consistancy or color... Please keep us posted....
