Tilly has been going well but suddenly about half hour ago she has put herself on the cage floor.

She is puffed up and doesnt look good.

Do i take her to a vet to be put down or do i let her go until she dies.

Really bad timing my daughters had just walked in the door from school , we are all crying.

Thanks

Cheryl

If it was me I would just look after her as long as possible... but on the other hand, if she's like this for a while it could be hard on the kids.

 

I had one pet budgie for about 9 years, until he got a brain tumour and had all these seizures which were horrifying to watch. I couldn't put him out of his misery, but doted on him until he went. But he was like that for a couple of weeks before he died and I was a mess...

 

So it's a really tough call, I can't really say what is best for your family.

 

*hugs*

If it is hot where she is she may have just "gone to ground" so to speak to keep herself cool. If so just leave her be till she cools.

Hope you and the kids are o.k. And Tilly of course.

Thanks for your fast replies.

It is not hot where we live our house is quiet confortable weather wise.

The girls are talking to her and she is just looking at us.

I am worried that she is in pain so i am hoping she goes peacefully sometime soon.

I have to work tomorrow so it will be hard to go and leave her alone if she doesnt pass away.

I am so sorry. Personally i would take Tilly to the vet and get her assessed. she might just have something minor that can be treated. I would hate to see her die of something that is easily treated. If the vets tell you she is terminal, then you will have a tough decision to make.

Tilly has a tumor i had her at the vet a fortnight ago and was told nothing could be done.I had posted about that then, sorry for people that have missed the post,i should have explained, but being upset i didnt think.

I have kept her comfortable and she is about to die, i wanted to know wether to let her die at home or take her to a vet and have her put down.

Vets nearby closed now and would have to call emergency out of hours.

 

Thankyou for your help

Oh, Am so sorry

 

Dont take her to the vets then. she is safe and secure at home with you. Just make her last moments quiet and peaceful. Taking her to the vet will only stress her. I hope it happens quickly :fingerscrossed:

Thankyou all for your help Tilly has just passed away.

I am very sad but pleased to say she is at peace and it was very fast.

She was okay this morning before i went out and when I got home at 1.30pm today she was on her perch.

At about 4pm we noticed she was on the floor of her cage, i held her for a while but she was happier in her cage.

RIP Tilly XXX

I am very sorry to hear about Tilly. Hope the kids are okay too :fingerscrossed:

 

A suggestion if I may. I bury the special budgies in my largest plantpots so a special plant and pot is where I can remember them. That way if you ever move house they are still with you. :angel1:

Thank you Kaz

I have just buried her in a very large pot that has a frangipani growing in it.

The girls seem okay, The youngest, 11 year old, helped but the 15 year old didnt want to.

It is going to be quiet without her.

I am very sorry for your loss. :fingerscrossed:
