Just weighed him - flickered between 37 & 38grams.
He's had his 2 days on the first bottle of Megacare. Just about to change it to the follow up bottle for next two days.
Will keep you all updated x

Bertie weighs 40g this morning, and I couldn't see much sick - if any.
He is eating and drinking.
This is his second day of the megacare follow up solution.
Am I right in thinking after today I've to stop using it and put him on normal water? Is megacare a cure for megabacteria or is it a supplement that just helps?
Thanks all x

Give the Birdcare company a call and ask what they think re Megacare. Glad Bertie is doing better x

I thought it was a supplement that helped the birds immune system.

This is what it says on the website: Megacare Add 5 mls (one teaspoon) of MegaCare to 1 litre of water and use two days a week as required. On the next two days use MegaCare Follow-Up (included in pack). So it seems that you use one for 2 days of the week and the other for the next two days a week then 3 days plain water. Repeat each week. But call for confirmation. I hope it helps Bertie. Love and hugs to you both. xx

I think we have come to the end of the road. Bertie appeared okay this morning, but is being sick again. He no longer has a quality of life that he use to enjoy. When I think back to how he use to swing about and sing so loud we could hardly hear the tv. I've called the vets - they have booked us in for 4.20pm. Waiting to see if hubby can come with me - can't do it by myself. Thank you all again for your help - it was worth giving Bertie every shot and I just wished it had of worked. His tailfeather appears to be regrowing for first time in a year - so he will be able to fly round free in fields of millet and be happy free from illness xx

You and Bertie have tried so hard. My prayers go with you this afternoon. The most difficult decisions are made with the greatest love. I'm in tears.

I'm so sorry for you and Bertie. You tried so hard for him. Give him a little kiss on the head from me before he goes to the land of millet to see all budgies past.

So sad. But you couldn't do more. Doesn't make it an easier though. But Bertie will again be swinging and singing up high.
