I am so very sorry for you. I think that he has a serious disease and that is why he vomits and doesn't eat anymore. But it is a shame that you don't have a good vet nearby. So sorry... thinking of you!

I'm very sorry. Just try to keep him warm and comfortable so that if he does pass, he will at least not suffer so much at the end. This is just terribly sad.

I don't know if its too late...I hope not!!! Call that chicken vet again, I don't know about the rules etc. where you live but down here a vet is being negligent if they refuse to see a critically ill dying patient, regardless of species and you can call the vet council and complain. He is a vet for crying out loud, we are all trained in critical emergency care and the basic principle doesn't change because its a bird. If he can treat chickens he damn well can treat your parrot, its not rocket science!! Sorry, I'm not mad at you, I am sooo sooo angry at the chicken vet who refused to help you and your poor poor bird!!! Do you have ANY vet nearby?? They can give your bird subcutaneous fluids and at least try to save the poor animal or at the very least euthanase it so it isn't suffering from whatever disease it has.
