Can I give my parrot human antibiotics if it seems sick?

[]

Answer

Under no circumstances should you give your parrot human antibiotics or any medication not prescribed specifically for them by a veterinarian. Bird physiology is very different from humans, and incorrect medication or dosage can be toxic and even fatal. If your parrot seems sick (fluffed up, lethargic, changes in droppings), it needs immediate veterinary attention from an avian vet. Self-medicating can mask symptoms or cause harm. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
