Calling All Rabbit Nutters

[Isadora]

I just spent over $300 in vet bills today for my budgie.

Wow, that's a lot of money. Is that because vets that treat birds are harder to find or something?

How did you notice to begin with?
Did her little belly area look swollen?

No, she just kind of acted off. She was puffed up, sleeping more than usual. She was also eating more. Both sicknesses prevent the body from absorbing enough nutrients from food. So she was eating more because she wasn't getting what she needs. I also noticed she had lost some weight.

Regular vets won't take birds. You have to take them to special avian vets. They have to go through extra training to take care of exotics.

that sort of thing really tests how much you care about your pets.
I honestly think I'd have chosen euthenasia over the $300 vet bill.

For me, it depends on the animal. For my dog? $300 would have been spent. For a duck? No, not a chance.
Can't speak about a budgie, because I've never had them. I'm not sure how attached I would be.

I'm an @$$. Often useful, sometimes entertaining, but still best in small (very small) quantity. I'm not wired for polite company, or really social interaction generally.

What, BTW, is a "Rabbit Nutter"?

Oh you know.... The ones who turn whole rooms of their houses into a room for a pet rabbit.
