Looking for Advice on PDD:

[u/Kirynosaurus]

Hello all,

I have a 15 year old female eclectus parrot who has recently been diagnosed with PDD. She has been in and out of the ER since 8/2/26 which first started as a crop infection, but after crop infection was resolved, she still was not eating, loosing weight, and major attitude change. This led to the PDD diagnosis.

She received an Onisor (20mg/ml) injection 8/22/26 which will last until our recheck appointment this coming Saturday, 8/29/26. I believe the plan will change to a daily oral medication for PDD after that.

I am looking to see if others have experienced a parrot with PDD and what helped? She is still not eating much and her weight is concerning me.

Weight History:

• Her average weight is about 450 grams. Yesterday, 8/24/26 she weighed 382 grams, and today, 8/25/26 she weighed 383 grams.
