He is sat here with me on my hand, we are about to take him, he is going to stay overnight tonight and they will operate tomorrow, I still don't know if we are doing the right thing, I would hate to think I could be cutting his life short to early if things go wrong. Will talk to the vet again before I leave him. My heart is breaking!

We all know that feeling Helen. Hugs to you and Pickle. Don't be frightened to ask the vet questions. I hope all goes well. Please keep us updated.

Dropped pickle off with the vet and asked him loads of questions he still maintains that we are doing the correct thing and said that if he didn't think it was the right course of action he would never say to perform surgery ever! He told me he would put the radio on for him as he has it on at home and they will ring me if there are any problems and let me know when they are done in theatre. He says he is a big healthy bird and doing this now gives him the best chance. He also said that if we left it without doing anything it would most certainly get bigger which would make it more difficult to remove. Thank you all for your love and good wishes, keep every thing crossed, wings included! You are the only people that truly understand how emotional this all is and I thank you for your support! X

I know you probably won't get much sleep but the vet sounds very confident and I am sure he wouldn't do anything without a good deal of thought. Just think get through tonight and tomorrow will be good news. Would you be able to bring him home tomorrow?

What ffiscool says: And that's a good point - will you be able to get him and bring him home late tomorrow? I hope so and then you can concentrate on getting back to normal. It's nice that they are having the radio on for him - this would make me feel better. I'm sure your big brave bud will be home in no time.

I am sure Pickle will be fine; he is young and otherwise healthy, and vet knows what he is doing.

I am hoping I can pick him up tonight after work, I finish at 3.30. I suppose it depends on how everything goes. I did sleep a little I was so tired from worrying about him the night before! The house is so quiet without him, I have put the radio on for myself!

Hi helenmatPlease let us know when the vet calls, to let you know how the operation went. Lots of lovely positive vibes being sent your way from me and my nine feathery fiends. Hoping you can take Pickle home later. X
