Swift recoverys!!!!

i second this!!! if there's any change in behaviour, i would take him to the vet. so, glad to hear he's acting normal.

There was no change at all in his behaviour until this morning when I found him dead. He was eating, drinking, pooping fine. No more bleeding and he was happy and chirping.

This sucks.

I'm sorry, Kali. At least you know his last few weeks were happy ones.

I'm so sorry to hear that. RIP little one :'(

Thanks for your words, i appreciate them.

I'm so sorry Kali. I just saw this thread. You did give him a good home for his last couple of weeks. Be happy you got to share eachother for a little while.

gosh, so sad. i'm so sorry to hear.

i will keep him in my prayers tonight. may he finally fly free and be in peace.


but, having reread this thread, i realize i should have advised an avian vet visit asap because you said: the collision was really hard, there was some damage to the feather follicles, he lost a lot of blood, and he was quiet for a little while before perking up.... arghh, honestly, i didn't think about it at the time; you just said he was acting normal after, and so i was fooled into thinking he was fine...i didn't even think that he could have been hiding being sick afterward when he was acting "normal".... arghh, i just feel horrible!

for anyone else reading this who experiences something like this, please take them to the vet asap. time is really of the essence, as we have seen; and, behaviour isn't really indicative of illness since they can hide illness so well.

I should have taken him to the vet, and really i was prepared to if i had noticed ANYTHING out of the ordinary. He was quiet for about ten mins after i stopped the bleeding and he just returned to normal. I didn't notice anything at all out of the ordinary, and i was checking on him all the time.

Goes to show how good they are at hiding it. I thought i was smart enough to see through it.

Lesson learned, drop everything and take them to the vet.

Condolences to you and your loss!!!! Well, it seems losing a budgie is becoming soo common that its almost what i expect to read when i sign in, here :(
However, we need to keep doing as much and as astute as we ever have been for our birds, dont we?
I am not over losing my sweet Hen a few months ago, but it is my utmost duty and pleasure to help all Birdboard members through these tough times.
...may your sweet budgies spirit be reborn into another budgie....
