R.I.p Priscilla

[bichonblitz]

I am absolutely devastated I can't stop crying. My beautiful baby Priscilla has gone. I noticed the day I got her she tail bobbed slightly but I thought that was normal for her as she was never any different also after she had a fly around she took she made a couple if breathing noises but because she was like that from the start I thought it was just her..the last couple of days I noticed her poops were different but they seemed to go back to normal ....we had a normal afternoon, I let them out the cage they had playtime on the top of the cage then they had a fly round and then onto there fav perch hanging from the window, then my little yellow Priscilla just fell off the perch onto the ground had a few squeaks then she was gone. I'm so shocked and sad she was only 4 months old. Now what about poor Elvis how will he cope.. what do I need to do with him. I will get another one as soon as possible. What do you think happened to her any advice . I'm devastated
r.i.p my beautiful baby girl. I loved her so much. I'm so sad.

How sad for you, I am sorry, really. Why it happened I have no idea. R.I.P. Priscilla.
As for getting another bud so soon is your call really. I cannot give you that answer. Sorry.

Im so sorry, RIP sweet girl
I think you will find that she was poorly from the start by the sound of it. I would wait before getting another just to make sure Elvis hasn't picked it up and when you do get one please Quarantine in a separate room for at least a month to make sure both are in good health otherwise it could just be a vicious circle of one infecting the other.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Priscilla, I know from my own experience of the shock of losing a young one, they are fragile little things. At least she didn't suffer too much, which is no consolation really.
I totally agree with skysmum's comments if you intend to get another one.

How long should I wait before I get another one to make sure Elvis is OK. I have a spare cage it's not a big one though so would that be OK for a temporary quarantine..it will also give me time to spend training him/her before I put them together... I think Elvis is so sad, my noisy little boy is quiet and just sitting doing nothing I've never seen him like this before.. can't believe this has happened I think she had a heart attack as she was flying then wheezed then fell... are budgies OK when they lose there best friend?. I can't believe I've lost my sweet gentle loving baby budgie. She was so special. I'm heartbroken

So sorry. RIP Priscilla, gorgeous girl

I'm so sorry. Rest in Peace little one.

Tomorrow I'm buying a new cage and getting a new budgie, the sooner quarantine begins the better. I'm keeping the new bird downstairs and keeping Elvis in my bedroom with me.. some people may think I'm being a little hasty but I just think the sooner we start quarantine the better. I'm so worried incase it's something I have done wrong and I'm watching Elvis like a hawk incase his poops change. I know what to expect if this ever happens again and it will be a vet immediately. I always had a feeling Priscilla wasn't right from the first day she came into my life. The tail bobbing was something Elvis didn't have but I thought it was just the way she was now I realise she had underlying things going on. Bless her... Elvis is fine now as long as I have constant music playing, so that's my plan for next couple of days.. he will hear the other budgie downstairs too so hopefully he won't feel lonely. What I find so hard is the fact I can't pick him up and give him a big hug.

I'm so very sorry that you lost Priscilla. Rest in peace little girl x

[Hezz]

I am so sorry. Rest in peace, Priscilla.

I can understand how you are feeling but dont beat yourself up - as Skysmum said it sounded like she was a tad poorly to start with but her legacy is that she has created for you such a love for budgies so much so you want to get another to help Elvis x

Fly high little Priscilla x

[bichonblitz]

I am still so sad. I have had so many animals in my life but none that made me smile as much as she did. .in her very short life we Created a bond I've never had before. She was so special. I feel like I let her down , I feel guilty.

[jellybean]

These little buds just seem to find a special place in our hearts.

[sweetpea]

I am so sorry to hear about Priscilla. She was beautiful. It's easier said than done, but really.... don't beat yourself up. That feeling will pass & you will be able to focus solely on the lovely memories. Fly high beautiful baby Priscilla.

I am so sorry to hear about Priscilla bichonblitz. Sometimes there seems to be no reason for these things. My heart goes out to you as she was so young so must have been a shock.

RIP Priscilla and fly high beautiful girl xxxxxx
