I'm extremely sad to say we lost out little man Casper this morning. He declined in health over the last week and we just couldn't put him through the stress of treatment so made the very difficult decision to have him pts. Its the hardest choice I've ever made about a bird. His life was so very short and should have been so much more full of fun. He was such a sweet sweet boy. We will miss you little man. Fly high little one. Silver will be very excited to play with you. I'm so sorry your time with us couldn't have been so very different.

Thank you both. samwiseg He started vomitting much more frequently, poos very loose, not eating much at all some days and just generally being very tired and quiet. Had a very long phone call with the vet about what it might be and what we could try. Discussed all sorts of possibilities. Vet was concerned that he was so young, and to be susceptible to AGY and a bacterial infection could suggest a weak immune system and that something else going on as well. We could have tried the AGY treatment but the vet said that long term we'd likely be looking at multiple treatments if that was the cause. It just seemed so much to put him through when he was so scared of hands and we'd not had a positive AGY confirmation. If he was older, tamer, already in a flock we may well have chosen differently.

So sorry for your loss.. It's so shocking and sad.. I can't even imagine the courage required to part ways like that with your birdie..
I wasn't ready when my hubby's maternal grandmother parted ways with us, like that.. it's such a difficult decision to make..
Love and hugs to you 🧡

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. It sounds as if you did your absolute best for little Casper but it is very painful to have to make that decision, especially for such a young budgie. Hugs to you.

It is a hard decision to make and only you could make that decision. I'm sorry it had to come to this. Goodnight Casper, rest in peace little man.
