poop

[YMCMB]

so my purple parrot hasn't been doing good lately so i was trying to find out what was wrong with him from what i have read online i think he might be constipated. i was wondering if there was some where i could squeeze him to make him poop.

Dont squeeze him.

Does he look bloated? First thing I would do is add Epsom salt and only feed blanched frozen peas with the skins removed.

his stomach looks a little bigger then normal, and i have been feeding him peas for the last 2 days and he wont eat them

If it's actual bloat, you may have to treat with meds.

your parrot is a dyed fish could just be his time , these fish do not live very long due to the dyeing process. but if it is bloat i agree with epsom salts and blanched peas. good luck

well the fish is only 6 months old and ppl say they live to be 8 years. also any tips when i use the epsom salt

The stress involved with the dyeing process can significantly lower that expectancy

if it's a dyed fish, i doubt it'll last the full life expectancy.

When should you use the salt? asap
