my cockatiel has been having bad diahrea for the past week or to any thing i can help with this or give her something.

Well, unless your bird has been eating a lot more fruit than usual which can cause diarrhea then it sounds like a medical problem and you need to see a vet. Not knowing anything about a bird another person can't diagnose what is wrong with it. Every once in a while a bird will have stools which are more watery but if it continues they need a veterinarian.

That's all the help I can be. Sorry.

thank you i will see to it that i take it to the vet.

HI,

I am glad you're going to take her to a vet. I would recommend getting in as fast as possible. These birds can dehydrate fast. If possible it would be good to take her to an avian vet because birds need specialized care.

I am glad you caught this because they can die quickly from such things. Keep in mind that birds are not like cats and dogs (or mammals for that matter) They hide their illnesses until they can't anymore. Because if they don't they get eaten by predators in the wild. So a bird showing any sign of illness is probably a lot more sick than they are showing. Their medical needs tend to be much more urgent than any other animal. So in fact this could be considered an emergency since its been going on for a week.

Good luck!!

TAKE HER TO THE VET ASAP lighten up on fruit and put some seed into her diet.Im no vet but i do know that that is not a good sign...
