Hi i write this sobbing- my wee Charlie has taken seriously ill, might not make it through the day. He appeared fine last night then this morning my mum was up early hours said there was a couple cheeps from him however when i got up 930 found it strange he hadnt already woken me. took his cover off he wouldnt move or cheep. I put my hand towards him (he isnt hand tamed) he didnt move, i stroked his feathers he didnt move. Panic started to set in then half hour later found him later crawling awkwardly half hanging off side of bars. he fell down and was sitting at bottom. grabbed his cage got him to emergency vet who thinks he either has taken a respiratory infection or a stroke. Hes at the vets just now getting treatment but we have been told to prepare for worst.
my heart is breaking and i came here cause i know many people dont compare the love for a dog or cat to a budgie but hes my first pet and my wee buddy and im so so sad and i know you will all understand. not written him off yet but have to be realistic i dont want him to suffer.

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I've only had my two budgies for five weeks but I'm already very attached to them and would also be heart broken if anything happened to them. Xx

That's so worrying for you. Everything crossed he pulls through.

Yes, people who have never owner a budgie could never understand the love we have for these adorable little birds. Thinking of you, and hoping your precious wee boy Charlie pulls through.

UPDATE: So Charlie is still with us and has improved slightly. He now seems to have his balance back but isnt moving from the one perch. He isnt eating or cheeping and his breathing is still very laboured. the vet recommended he stay overnight rather than cause him the stress of moving him again and a decision will be made in the mornin as to what happens next. He isnt out of the woods but there is a glimmer of hope.Went in to see the wee guy he just looked at me like a poor soul with his eyelids dropping cause hes so lethargic :-( . keeping all my fingers crossed tonight he pulls through.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words glad but sad at the same time to know others understand what im going through.

Wishing Charlie well. It's horrible when they are sick, as they are so small. Get well Charlie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you

All my best thoughts and prayers for you and Charlie. He is much to cute to be sick. I hope he will show some signs of improvement soon.
