My cockatiel


She had fluid build up and was drained by the vet and she also admitted her for 2 nights. She was very energetic and her breathing was fine when she came home. She died 9 days after draining the fluid. She was still on antibiotics. What could have caused that?


Answer:

Hi,

I’m sorry to hear about your cockatiel. There isn’t any way we could know what happened. Your Vet will be able to answer your questions.

Take care,

Brenda
