A few days ago I noticed that my cockatoo male was struggling to remove feces. He was standing on the surface, with swollen belly and feces hangs (was normal feces, not white, filamentous). I said he ate too much and reduced food rations: the next day just ate some BBS, second day some frozen brine shrimp and BBS. He has 3 days on the "diet" but still a swollen belly. There is no problem with swimming, but moves slower and sometimes lurk under wood.
Last night I did a massive exchange of water.
Is it constipation, parasites, ...? I should try to give him peas? ... although I don't think he will eat peas.
What to do? Recommend some medication that I can mix with food, to avoid decycling the tank?
Thank you,
Dan
