Oh no it has happened again this morning and he only had three days left of the months course of treatment…..I really feel distraught. He was absolutely fine first thing, then I caught him and gave him his medicine. Then he came out and played as normal for over an hour. Then I put him back in his cage to do the nebuliser. Normally he likes it and chatters a lot while covered up but I noticed he was silent. I lifted the cover and he was just sitting head down and his wings all drooped again. I took him out and he just sat eyes closed and wings splayed out………..I have managed to get a vets appointment this afternoon , so it’s the long drive all over again, and I am not at all well myself……….He still hasn’t moved 🥲. I will post again after vets…..

I'm so sorry to hear this. He seemed to be doing so well.
I hope the vet visit goes as well as it can, and that it's helpful.

Thinking of both you and Buddy ladybird. Really hope the vet is able to help and the journey doesn’t exhaust you too much. Please let us know how it goes.

Well the Avain vet gave him a good look at and weighed him ( hasn’t lost weight) ……I showed her the pictures and vidio clips of him ……listened to his heart and chest. And said she has never seen a budgie behave like that. She asked me lots of questions, eg…did I burn candles, use air fresheners etc etc . She is wondering if it’s stroke related but doesn’t think so. She asked to copy all the photos to her phone saying she had a professor friend who it’s an absolute expert about budgies so she is going to show him and is determined to get to the bottom of what’s wrong and phone me…….. So I will just have to wait and see……..

Is he acting normal now?
I hope the professor friend can help to shine a light on the issues and come up with some management for it.

I'm sorry you didn't get an answer there and then, Ladybird but at least your vet was greatly interested and is prepared to refer to someone she considers an expert. That's encouraging.
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector? If you have a gas boiler, you might have one attached to it. In my case, my CO detector is detachable, I could move it to the room my budgies are in if I were in your position. I would monitor over a period of days to see if there was a link of some sort.

I'm so sorry Buddy had another bad turn. I'm glad that the vet was able to see him and that she's asking her professor friend to help. I hope he can find out what is happening. I hope Buddy is already feeling better.

It’s horrible but so good of your vet to want to delve more too.
I hope Buddy is ok now, must be scary for him too
