It’s not good 😭 He has neurological stuff going on (which is what I felt), funny things going on with eyes, prob liver &/or kidney issues. Vet says he obviously inbred. She guessed his age around 8-12 months. Obviously none of this is fixable - I feel he’s deteriorating daily & he’s only going to suffer more. He’s not distressed but he’s not a relaxed, happy bud. So he’s home just now but he will be put to sleep once an appointment is made. Mum wanted to talk it over with me but we feel it’s the right thing for him. It’s heartbreaking & so wrong - he didn’t deserve any of this & I’m angry he was given this life. But I’m glad I could take him in & give/ show him 5weeks of love & care. He’s known that at least eh? And vet says it’s nothing I’ve done or not done which is what I was worried about.

Can you show us a photo/video of him? Is he really suffering so much that he needs to be pts

I think he is Marianne. He’s deteriorated just in the last couple of days quite a bit & is currently on the bottom of his cage. Here’s him doing his weird head thing, he’s always done it but it’s got more & more recently. He can spend most of his time like this. He’s going back to the vet this afternoon. 💔

This is heartbreaking starrymist 😢 Poor little guy. Is there nothing at all that can be done to help him? You must be so upset. I'm so sorry xxx

Oh this is just awful. Poor you and poor Sam. What are his droppings like? Is his behaviour anything like stargazing? (caused by vitamin deficiency or infection usually) www.beautyofbirds.com/stargazing.html

It’s not like that star-gazing Marianne which is why I dismissed it as just a quirk of his until recent weeks. His poos are getting more green. He has some “critical care” in his water but is refusing to drink. His eating has got less & less this week. He’s hardly had anything today. I think he’s saying he’s had enough. The vet felt he was suffering too. 😢 It’s so sad, I wish he could have had the life he absolutely deserved. 💙

It is very sad. I wish breeders cared more about the animals in their care. Inbreeding is such an irresponsible thing to do. And poor little Sam is suffering because of it. I'm so sorry that you can't save him but I'm sure he appreciates having such a lovely person to care for him for a few weeks.

Oh Amy. I came on here to see how Sam had gotten on at the vets. I’m holding back tears now I’ve read the update. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through the loss of another bird so soon after saying goodbye to Brodie. But I’m so glad for Sam’s sake that’s he’s spent his last weeks with you. You’ve had budgies for so long your mummy instinct was right. I wish it hadn’t been of course. You must feel so drained physically and emotionally. Sending lots of love. I’m now crying properly! Xxx

Me too, crying. It’s just so sad. I’m so sorry too that you’ve had to go through this. Poor Sam, but I’ll say what the others have too, he would so have known love since you had him
I agree, breeders just don’t care enough at times. I’m so sorry
RIP Sam, you were loved
