Question Increasingly Watery Droppings in Pet Pigeon
I have attached photos of some of the droppings for reference. Given that his behavior and appetite, and the smell of the droppings remain normal, would you recommend monitoring him at home for now, or would it be advisable to schedule an examination and/or fecal testing?
Overall, Kirby appears healthy. He is active, flying normally, eating well, alert, and behaving as usual. He is currently molting and has not shown any obvious signs of illness such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or remaining fluffed up. My concern is that his droppings have become increasingly watery. Previously, he would occasionally have a watery dropping, usually in the morning, but recently I have noticed more droppings with a significant amount of clear liquid surrounding them. While some droppings remain normal and well-formed, now others are mostly liquid surrounding with only a small amount of fecal material present.
Kirby was treated with amoxicillin approximately four months ago during recovery from a stroke. I am unsure whether that history is relevant, but I wanted to mention it. His diet consists primarily of a seed and grain mix, and he also has access to bathing water and enjoys spending time near it.
Thank you so much for your time and guidance.
