I've had to put Hector in the tiny cage this morning. He seems to have lost the use of his other leg and isn't eating or drinking. Sadly, I don't think he'll be with us much longer. I've been holding and preening him when I can. He's 10 years and 9 months old, but I feel very sad, he's been my little buddy for so many years   |

oh no, so sorry to hear Hector is so poorly. it is horrible, no matter how old they get, to see them like this. He knows how much you love him and I am glad you are getting to hold him too.
Is he sleeping mostly?

Tried giving him water, basil and millet. Have him on my lap to keep him warm.  |

Oh Marianne, I am so very, very sorry to hear about Hector. I know how difficult it is to know that their time is near and not being able to change that. I know he knows how much you love him and appreciates you being with him. My heart goes out to you.
