June 5, 201014 yr Thank you. I'm in the process of begging dad to take him to the vet. I've done some research and they HAVE to treat him and they won't charge us probably because legally, he isn't ours. I suringe fed him some more hand rearing formula but I'm not sure the good that will do. dont waste the vet visit.........no matter what happens ......ask to be shown how to crop feed. Buy a 14 guage crop needle and syringue good luck.
June 5, 201014 yr Author I just rang all the vets in town... none are open till Monday. A nice lady on the phone suggested keeping it warm and hydrated, exactly what I'd been doing.
June 5, 201014 yr :rip: :angel: so sorry Ratzy, you did your best :angel: :rip: Did you enquire about him back at the pet shop?
June 5, 201014 yr Ohh that is such a shame, poor little man, he isnt suffering anymore so that is one blessing.
June 5, 201014 yr Author Thanks I haven't inquired at the pet shop but a friend is going to ask about him and if they say something that doesn't match my evidence, like, he died, or, they took him to the vet, or he flew away ( couldn't fly ) then I will pounce! I really hate the people who let him get that way, then sold him to people who know nothing. His name is Lucky. I thought about it last night, and he's lucky because if I hadn't happened to be passing by, then he would have died horribly, days ago. At least I made him comfortable. :angel:

June 6, 201014 yr grrrrrrrrrrrr if i had a pet shop i would car for all the animals individually they obviously dont care enough about their animals, and are just in it for the profit! :angel: i say send your little spy friend in and find out as much as you can otherwise this is going to happen again to some poor other little helpless budgie sorry for your loss ratzy the bird is blessed it found you! RIP lucky :angel: good try at it, and good on you for giving another try at life
June 6, 201014 yr RIP little one :angel: You did the best you could Ratzy. l'm sure that lucky knew how much you cared for him. Edited June 6, 201014 yr by birdluv
June 6, 201014 yr well good try mate if i was you id be going to them yourself id take the bird and id say unless you got a good reason for me finding this bird out back of your shop half dead then i will be taking the photos i have of him in your shop unwell and the ones i took when i found him tossed out back half dead to the loacal counciel offeces and putting in a complaint about your shop and the animals welfair then id just walk out and leave the dead bird on bentch where you pay id also make sure you get random people to be in the shop at the exact time you do this and say it as loud as you can with out yelling still in a speacking tone id make sure some the random people made it look like they were listening and id make sure some left with saying something like m i wont be comming here again id have a family with kids and a few single people see how they squirm then make sure you tell them they better pick their game up as you may be young but you know your legal rights and theirs where it comes to miss treatment and crulty to animals but i am diffrent to most and have habbit of speaking out when i mabe should just leave things i just belive in saying what you think and standing up for people or animals and their right
June 6, 201014 yr Author That is exactly what I'd do... if my parents would let me. So for now I have to just spread rumours ( true ones) and watch out for any more sick birds. I too have a habit of speaking out when I should keep my mouth shut. I just can't stand to see any form of animal cruelty. Dad got rid of Lucky, and I don't know where.
June 6, 201014 yr Seeing as you would like to be a life saver of birds, You need to get yourself a crop neddle & learn how to use it, so the next time,you can, fill the crop with food & a light,that can be used as a heat sourse,to keep the birds warm, throught the night. :angel:
August 8, 201014 yr I would say he is on his last legs.The problem with budgies is that they are so small and by the time to you work out they are ill it is sometimes too late. well i have been through it and no one cares anymore i was so close to my budgie i am still crying too this day my best friend never got to see him we planned to it just shows there is risks to getting pets and be thankful you budgie had him in your heart and your budgies Monti :rip:
