ninz1 phoned and the vet says the budgie is healthy other than the scalyface. Lemon has had some meds at the vet and we'll continue medication here. Ninz will bring Lemon to us tomorrow morning. I have to get the cage and some space set up! Yay!!!!! So pleased. Welcome to the gang Lemon x

Yeey! All is well.
My vets are amazing as usual, his appointment was free! We just paid for his meds. Lemon has scaly face which the vet reckons has been for around 3-4 weeks as it's on his feet and beak. It is not too far gone for it to be an on going issue so that's brilliant.
He was given an injection as it works faster than the drops but as Lemon will be going to Marriane, we agreed to 1 injection and to continue it with the drops.
He had his nails trimmed and his weight checked which was 36g so he will need to put on more weight.
His poop was checked and no signs of anything including megabacteria.
I cannot wait to drop him off tomorrow!
My vet said that legally we have to wait 7 days for the owner to respond and then if no one comes forward, the budgie is yours. Is that how it works?
It'll be fun to see what Lemon's personality is, he is super sweet and was very calm whilst Vet Matthew grabbed him and checked him out. No biting or shouting like my Imzi, he used to squeal like a guinea pig!
Once again, thank you Marriane for taking this budgie in xXx

What a wonderful end to his nightmare on his own and to two amazing bud lovers for his new chapter.
What an amazing vet too.

If I lived in your neck of the woods I probably would go to them.

Great outcome with the vets and now she is set to go and live with Marianne and the gang, lucky little Lemon, it was meant to be . It flew right above me and I chased after it just as soon as I understood what was going on. I couldn't believe it! I was on my way to baby sensory classes 😂 I hope my son grows up to love animals as much as I do. Lemon is super lucky, he was so brave to come to the car in front of me otherwise I wouldn't be able to get him from the tree. I was leaving home and was going to leave my sons blanket as it was warm that morning. Then I walked back home just to get the blanket as it became cloudier. It's unbelievable that had any of that not happened, I would never have seen the budgie.

A great outcome all round. What a great vet to check Lemon out and not charge for his time. They said as it's a stray and lemon doesn't quite belong to me, they won't charge. I also believe that the treatment for scaly face would've been free but as I wanted to buy the drops to take with me, we had to pay for them. They really care for their patients. My vets have always taken their time and always answered my questions. When I was 17 and earning very little, the main vet CJ Halls used to give me massive discounts. He was super cool 💙
