Sad Day, Might Have To Have My Buzby Put Down

Hi all, I havent posted on here for a while, but thought I would as I got to take my 6 1/2 yr old budgie to the vet in 2 hours as he aint been well since sunday. He have had a tumour for the last 3 yrs and he has never had a real problem other than every 2 - 3 months I would take him to the vet to have his claws clipped, where the vet would give him a quick check over to see how is was.

He has been very active for that time, with the odd few days over the 3 yrs of having the tumour, but no real problems which have effective him. sunday he just sat on his perch or on his food tray, not moving much and not eating much through the day, then eat at night. He been the same mon and tues and to me his left foot have lost some responsiveness.

Having the vet look at him, but think it will be bad news at his age, being a english show budgie and all. I have always looked after him and regular vet visits, but feel powerless that my only option now is to put him to sleep and very upset. Just venting to be honest, will let you know how he gets on. Thanks.

Hey all, just on update. I took him to the vet, she had a look at him still quiet so she examined him, could see him in distress and said we will try an quick xray, then give him an anti-inflamatory and some anti-biotic to see if it can help him. So I give him to my father to go out and tell my mother, then when I went back in inside a min, my father said he just passed away in his hand, so I have been a bit upset tonight, but will get another one soon and still remember my boy.

At least he went peacefully and not with the help of any drugs.
