pip&sqeek2 im so very sorry.i think i will have to put queeny down tomorrow. its been a long hard 2 weeks,but i didnt mind.but i think to keep going would be abusing her and i dont want to do that.

Quote: yea that part im having trouble with..lol

i like the idea of the slings some of you made to keep your bird up right.so i decided to make one for queeny.not real sure if she likes it,but i think it better to put her in different positions.shes starting to poo alot,which is good,but unfortunately she cant get away from it so i have to...

Quote: thanks lobzi,very informative. update on queeny-thought she was a goner lastnight.she wouldnt eat and just wanted to sleep.this morning she ate great and is more alert.i thought she would be gone this morning.what an emotional ride.this sweet girl is taking years off my life that i...

update on queeny-went to the vets today.good news/bad news.he found a cecal worm egg in her poo.so we can treat that.the bad news is shes so ematiated hes not sure if we can bring her back from that.so shes on more medication and he gave her a b12 shot and a styroid shot.she also is staying on...

so sorry pip&sqeek2 you did all you could do.sometimes i think we are being selfish keeping them alive cause we will miss them so much.i always try to think 'would i want to live like this'and if its no then you know youve done the right thing.just the fact that you did so much for your baby...

Quote: awwww thanks 8hipchicks.

i will let you all know what the vet says tomorrow.my appt. is at 3.i really appreciate all the support and advice ive have gotten.

not really.except shes falling over more.the vet said could be a possible pancreas problem..i dont know.i just hope he can help her.

Quote: no i said she had yellow in her poo,probably from the vit.b.shes been in the house for 2 weeks,hasnt had any grass.im not sure what the vets gonna do.wants to see her.so i guess we will see.

Quote: OK, here is another thought....has she been where she can get a source of gravel for her crop? If not and her poo looks a lot like the color of what goes in (the was the case of one of my babies who loved cooked carrots and pooed orange constantly before I got him a source of gravel...

Pip&Squeek2 : Quote: This is so sweet. Everyone thinks I have lost my mind by doing this. But if it helps get his/her legs stretching then so be it. Lol I actually think it's kinda of cute. i think its adorable.i have decided to talk to my regular vet about queeny and see if he thinks blood...

well she doesnt have any of those symptoms.she eats,her crop fills,then its empty but she still looses weight.where is the food going.im sure she has a vit. deficiency due to the fact that her food is not doing her any good.thats where,i believe,the problem is.you are so knowledgable about alot...

i have one more thought.can they get worms that stay in their bodies?the vet checked her poo and said it was ok.but are there worms that maybe stay in the intestines and you dont know they are there? just want to make sure i cover everything.i have to get her to eat.shes skin and bones,no...

well queeny is still alive,but it seems like anything i try to do for her just makes her feel worse.so im thinking its time to make the call and have my hubbt put her down when he gets home from work.i hate to give up but i dont want her to suffer.shes a sweet little girl and doesnt deserve...

shes just sitting on my lap sleeping.im not gonna give her any meds.i think she might be slipping away

Quote: No, those darn respiratory issues are tough. Hang in there with her. Mainly, here is what I learned with Roo : dont stress her. I think her chances are better if you dont stress her. hard not to stress her when i have to force her meds.why do you think its a respitory problem?
