From the West Coast also. She seems to be a very caring vet which is good, since some won't give you the time of day when it comes to a budgie. Piper has changed though. Not as loving as she used to be; especially with me! We were like glue and now she just bites, in between playing with her toys and sleeping. Droppings are still wet, but she is still eating. Even if she never wants to come to me again, I just want her to healthy and happy. PS they say that girl budgies don't talk...not true..Piper says "thank you", "love you", "good girl" and knew what it meant when I would ask for a kiss.

Piper is still eating and playing, but also doing a lot of resting. Her droppings are either pure water or are developing some sort of normal shape. The vet has asked me to call with updates every other day. I am still very worried and keep a close eye on her.

Did take her to the vet and she was amazed at what a change there was. Looks like it is going to be okay. Keeping an eye on her, but like I said she is active and is eating and resting. Thank you for your advice.

okay, so early this morning my little Piper decided to lay another egg. This time the egg dropped on its own and she then proceeded to play with her toys. My question is: if she had a prolapse before with the first egg (the vet had to retrieve it) should I then take her to get the once over? Still has watery droppings and a little more blood has fallen.

Thank you for your reply. I have her sitting on my shoulder...nope now head at the moment. She felt cold when I picked her up, yet the heat is on and so is the fireplace. As you can tell by reading Piper and I are very close. I want to do the right thing(s) for her.

She is in a cage or what I like to call a "house" on her own. No male and no nestbox. Believe me when I tell you that I was not prepared for this! The vet seems content with the fact that Piper (my budgie) is active and eating and still loves her cuddle time with me. What is the usual age for egg laying? The vet did use a Q-tip to push what had prolapsed back up and gave Piper an antibiotic injection.

Hi! My budgie attempted to lay an egg yesterday with no luck (the vet had to retrieve it) and now I am washing the area of all droppings that become attached to the area. My question is: the area looks red and puffy still and I am wondering if the area is dropping down or if the area is just swollen still and needs time to heal. Help!! this is new to me. I have had my baby for 5 years and never had this happen.
