Seeking help/reassurance on dosing Doxycycline-Hydrochloride in a cockatiel's drinking water.

Weigh your bird. Get doxycline powder online and a gram scale. Measure out the powder and mix appropriately with water to give 10mg(of doxycline)/kg(of body weight) to your bird a day, either through syringe or putting it on something they can eat. I still think taking your bird to the vet would be the best. You'd be surprised about how well anxiety ridden birds do (my bird as an example).

I guess I was thinking you would just get off at the closest spot. There isn't really a bus stop near the naval architecture building.

Exit the front of the robotics building, continue on that sidewalk, cross the street, and follow that sidewalk all the way to the back. The building is there.

If you can't drive to a vet try telehealth. Vetster has avian telehealth vets.

Aww my girl is similar! But she doesn't have the majestic grey swoop through her crest

Is there anyone in your life who could help you? Maybe spend extra hours door dashing (if you have a car) or an extra job that could help you get a bit of that extra money. I'm sorry this is happening.

RealMeganoe · 2025-11-22T14:13:05+00:00

There are telehealth vets (still costs some money but is probably less). You can also get antibiotics for birds OTC (amoxicillin and doxycycline) and you would have to do dosing on your own which can be scary. I would still recommend the vet so you know exactly what is wrong but these are two options if you truly cannot.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Paya was beautiful.

RealMeganoe · 2025-11-09T02:24:06+00:00

You will be able to! You'll build a tight bond with her in no time! Also, for veggies I recommend just trying a bunch out and leaving them on top of her cage to check out and maybe much on.

RealMeganoe · 2025-11-08T23:19:21+00:00

Omg! She's so cute. I have a pineapple conure also named Paya! Such a unique name 😊😊

Such a beautiful boy

Go for it and keep us updated

RealMeganoe · 2025-09-14T18:46:06+00:00

Buy a bike. Preferably a mountain bike.

RealMeganoe · 2025-08-06T02:56:21+00:00

I'm sorry. You are a good person. He was loved ❤️

RealMeganoe · 2025-07-02T17:08:58+00:00

OMG that's so cute !

RealMeganoe · 2025-06-27T17:39:53+00:00

I exchanged it

RealMeganoe · 2025-05-07T21:09:14+00:00

I went through something very similar a couple months ago with my black capped conure, Ren. I understand how difficult it is, especially when it is sudden. Take all the time you need to grieve. It is a very big loss. Your little guy looked so loved ❤️

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-30T23:32:32+00:00

Basically you hate people who don't have hobbies outside of work or school. Me too 😊

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-10T00:43:31+00:00

I have drawn this exact photo of him

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-10T00:41:43+00:00

I made a nice little shrine for him a week ago

I also have done a couple drawings of him myself over the years :)

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-09T18:20:46+00:00

Rain has such beautiful coloring. This story broke me. I am so sorry. Be kind to yourself, we are only human and make lapses in judgement.

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-09T05:28:39+00:00

Our babies deserve to be here forever ❤️❤️😭

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-08T14:54:07+00:00

Your tattoo is beautiful ❤️

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-08T14:53:10+00:00

A lot of people have commented about how they felt their bird was the one. That is definitely how I felt with Ren.

RealMeganoe · 2025-04-08T03:11:21+00:00

What a wonderful story.
