My vet pointed out that my parakeet, Kiwi, is showing signs of fatty liver disease. His beak and toenails are growing abnormally fast and his beak keeps getting bruised. He told me that if these symptoms continue after 6 months than he suggests getting blood work done. However, I'm worried that 6 months might be too late. I don't want my budgie to die before then, especially knowing that I could have possibly prevented his death. Does anybody know how long parakeets with fatty liver disease live for? Also, do you have any suggestions for helping Kiwi to get better? I'm switching him to a pellet diet with additional fruits and vegetables. I'm also making sure he gets enough exercise. I just want to know if there's anything else I can do.
