Thank you for the advice Barrie. I had the heating on almost constantly for him the last three days. I just turned around and he has passed away. I can't believe it. So sorry Donna , can i replace him with one of mine , no charge ? Barrie, you are too kind. That would be truly amazing Everyone here is so wonderful. It makes my crying worse.

the bird at the first signs of illness should be in a warm place, isolated and on guardian angel Listen for clicking noises in his crop. have you iodine blocks available. try the Sodium Benzoate for 35 days , 5 ml in one litre of water , available off e bay I too have a budgie that is showing signs of this. Barrie can you please explain what sodium benzoate is and what it does exactly. If buying this on Ebay can you give a link to a trusted seller. Can this be given with Gaurdian Angel mixed together or in two different drinking containers. Thanks for your help

I'm now wondering whether I need to treat my other birds with this as a precaution? None of them have symptoms, but I don't want to wait around

This illness catches hold so quick and sometimes it's way to late if the signs don't always show until the last minute.

Yep this is the web site h20, it may help.Is this the site hun? www.birds-online.de/gesundheit/gesinfektion/gls_en.htmJust wondered if anyone on here has tried the Thyme tea on their budgies....does anyone know if the lady in the article uses warm water to make the tea or just cold. IT SAYS..QUOTE: In this book I found the information that thyme has fungicide effects. From this day on I served thyme tea to Pierrot every day (2 small teaspoons of the herb for 250ml of water). Regularly the vet examined the droppings and he found out that the number of the pathogens decreased and finally disappeared till the 9th and 12th week. Because of a possible latent megabacteria infestation in the glandular stomach, I added 1/2 teaspoon of ground anise to the thyme tea." Very interesting reading. thanks x
