From: Eleonore Beaudoin on 10 Sep 2008 21:18 Right vet was there for Chelseigh. Had his beak done properly, his toes ((nails? English?) trimmed as they grew extremely fast and left him stuck on bars, unable to unroll`them. Had Squeaks tummy releved by the vet removing 9 ml of liquid from her tummy. I still did not think she had that muchm if it was an incredibly higher amount the forst time around. But the alst had been 1.5 by bad vt who coudl nt remove more, afraid to ruamatize Squeaks after she had poked her with the needle too mmany times, and the time before that was 4 ml only, done properly by usual vet....That was great news, as it had gone down and down and down each time to near nothing in comparison., but this time, it went up: 9 ml..... Squeaks' feathers are much nicer since two days and she sang and hopped all over and climbed wildly, happily. Chesiegh was somehtign else.....I truely thought odds were he might not mae he night, last night. I prayed. and others must hae sent nice waves because he was stronger his morning. However, the usual (good) vet could not remove any liquid from his tummy: she says nothing can be dione, that his liver also enlarged but that in his ase, it is massive, and forms no liquids in the tumm for her to remove. She says nothing more she can do.... I prayed last night and he got stonger. After the treatment that yuet traumatizes Chelseigh soooo much, much more tha it does Squeaks for instance, if yet Squeaks pressure drops dangerously for a few days after the intervention, Chelseigh looked weak, but after an hour, managed to move a bit more than before, and I finally saw him EAT, which made me happy. He seemed very happy, and even sang a few notes, while he only did let go of a lost note a day, not much of a singing`quality t it, as if he ahd a laryngitis too....Then no sound he made for wo days and now those lost noes, and one stretch of a few notes, wek but there and singing quality too...I.e. happy notes.... Sweet lil bird of nothing.....My lil bday presents of 2001. Squeaks was a present bought for me by an ex-asl-er and friend. I then dd not dare say that it seemed to be quite close to another budgie in that pet shop cage, and did not dare ask for the two of them to not split them.... I also was broke, and could not go back to get the other one, and had to wait for payday t get there and hope he woudl still be there. On pay day I rushed t the store, but the ones they kep at the front that day, in which was the one I was looking for, had been returned to the back and changed for others: each nigt they pt them all together but in the day they woudl take 8 or so up to the front....Different ones each day. I looked closely and could not be sure then. I rememebred it wa the green and yellow one in the front cage......In the bigger one, hwo would I be sure which it was??? Trned out none of them, had green and yellow, if I thought that was not the one...... But seing tey both had a swollen liver, the vet asked �re they related, those two birds'' , and I explained how I got Squeaks as a present andhad to wait for payday to go get the other one, but was not sure if I got THE one that was so close to it....Maybe... Later in the evening, I thought that maybe. Maybe that woudl make sens: maybe two were close for being related, sibblings, babies from the same batch...Where both woudl then have genetic probs with their liver, f different in how one can be *momentarily* helped and made to feel better by removing liquids...and the other not. Just swelling away:(....Until it could not breath anymore down the road:(.... Coudl explain too why if queaks layed so so so many eggs in her life,none of them ever hatched. I figured Chelseigh as sterile. But maybe birds do not mate among sibblings when they never were apart 9save for a few days until I got the second one that seemed to be the pair with Squeaks as I said). Despite the news, *and despite the fact that Chriss's song played the ther day, Bohemian Rap^sody by Queen, which so far has *alauys* been a sign of one of my pets living its last days or two weeks, I still HOPE and pray....PRayers made him better after all last night and today and this evening....He sure looks under the weather still, but DOES look livelier than before despite the handling, the cut nails and filed and cut beak and four needles in him to try and get liquid out.... To give him a better chance, I installed a plate in their cage so he does not have to stand on a bar all the time and can rest f he wants to and prefer on that plate. I used a small canvas to make the said plate.... With scrooked in mini-hooks to make it hld against the bars, a perch running uner one of ts extremity. I put seeds on it so he woudl not be too frad of it, and I saw him go there and eat a few seeds. I could get him to eat by handing him a piece of cracker which he tried and took a very few bites from. But I crumbled a piece on the plate and I saw he took some there, and also went to eat some on the other cracker I installed at the usual treat place...with Squeaks eating at the same time, each their corner. Then I saw Chelseigh climb on the seed bowl and actually seemingly eat a good meal. I had not seen him move and eat in the last days, and worried a lot about that and about his beak being badly shaped by the previous replacement vet. The other vet charged me 145 bucks. And muffed it all. The usual one charged me around the usual price: 65. Probably because she felt there was nothig she could do anymore for Celseigh. I asked if anythign gcould be given t help hi liver drain a it or get a bit stonger, anythign that woudl help alleviate the rpessure, etc, for the remainder of his days: nothing the vet saiod, just the good home care. I think that with the week spent at the farm moving boxes from storage mae the poor lil things miss e so much that they were thrilled even to be poked, anything so long as I was there and distracting them:(:(. And whle I was, poor Belami was lonely and wanting touched and held and taken care of too.....Sigh........................... Ihave put both budgies into their cage for nightime a bit earlier, at 7 P.M., so that Chelseigh has a good chance to rest after the rough vet visit....He always was such a nervous lil thing, always so afraid...Heoly started trusting me more and not wamming in his bars when I got near the cage or opened it to put food this last year. I rememebr telling him it took him 6 years to trust me a bit more........Now the poor thing trusts me with his life, and there is nothign much I can do or think of doing save talking to him and adding things in theior cage as adding he plate seemed to thrill them, just for the change, while usually they hate changes.... Or most of them anyway. I then took Belami upstairs with me and let his rest by me, so he woudl not feel how heavy hearted I was....Yet more filled with hope than heavy hearted, and happy that at least Cehlseigh looked so happy this evening after the vet, fter again a rough visit and treatment attempt.... I think maybe Chelseigh si happy that Squeaks is not as big, and maybe he thinks he too is smaller now or will get better because she does..... Or maybe just because he sees her be better....But he was HAPPY, poor lil thing. I will keep praying and hoping for the best. After all the vet can be wrong. She thinks it is a tumor r cyst, adherenes on the liver or a swelling of the liver itself. But I still find it too odd that both have this at he same time, started at the same time, get betetr at same time, then restart at same time after a time where they seem better, etc. Both also loose their lower belly feathers in a same way....It then seems contageous to me mre than anything, and Squeaks started looking like se was feeling better two days ago, same time as me! I always fgured whatever we have, it is all the same ting, anthe same darn thing that killed Titan, but also Lad and Eat-Eat.... The brown liquid that the vet removes from Squeaks, tummy is the same that Titan threw up when she died, and the same that Eat Eat did throw up a few tiems too in his last year, and Lad in his last days....:(. I keep wracking my braisn trying to find out what coudl ahve done this and could either be contageous or affect all pets and me....WEater? I mea, I did not eat dog food and the dogs did not eat bird seeds either. Titm on;y ate pablum, yet it was made with water..... I am trying to think of what is new since when it started in the house. Around them, etc. Still can not find what eactly it woudl be if I think of this ad that ad thios other thing and so on....Nothign conclusive at all though, and nothig quite fitting all pets and situations.... If anyne reads me, please keep on praying with me so Celseigh gets better and has a nice end of life and nt soon! So that he and Squeaks can both enjoy a full budgie life (I think they can live 10-15 years: they are 7...was their bday at same time as me yesterday...Not a present for any of us that!;-). If the word praying is one that bugs you, well, send waves their way, good thoughts, happy thoughts, healthy tchirpy thoughts. That si all preayer is after all...Getting on a certain wavelenght when thinking of soemthign we wish happens:). Time to go feed Belami his last meal of the fday,patt him and put him to bed to, and do that laundry load I could not this weekend to have clean jeans to wear tomorrow.... May timing be on my side so that if I have to take time off for Chelseigh, I can do so without probs at work....May I be here if he feels bad and needs me.....and may I have the wisdom to knwo when to let him just rest without checking on him so much as to trouble his resting times;-). As I got home and changed to get to the et in old jeans, I was stunned: two days ago all swelling was gone on my side, and today was actuallys eemingly so as well, but as I troied to put on my oldest and largest homecomfy jeans, I could not zip them normally. I fact, I was squished to death myself in them.... Lately got to wonder if I had water on my lungs or in my rib cage....Odd thouht...Indeed, I think we all have the same thing buggng us whatever it is. Wish I kew the case to at least try and remove that cause!!!! Please send godd waves still for my birds, specially for Chelseigh, but for Squeaks too, and then for Belami as well, if he is not as bad so far as they are......he still doe snot look his usual self and throws up easily where I have to keep feeding him half meals and more often in a day. Not always possible when working full time!!!His efathers, like for Squeaks, are softer and shinier this evenign and not all a mess like this morning.....Hopefully he will get better too.... But may oh may Chelseigh get all better against all odds, ad may the vet be wrong and may it just be a bug they all will win over in time, asap, and me with them! C

Som,etimes though I feel like it is the `more`that I do that ens up killing them.... Like bringing Lad to a vet that used to love animals and got to become money minded and actually euthanized him without permission. As was done by another vet with Fleabag...Like taking Titan back and back to another vet and realizing months after her death that indeed the antibios they gave me were not only not good but were contaminated or poisoned: a receptionit was upset with my deamnding a test that they found useles and that did reveal a massive fungus infection in her tummy.Meds should have ghaldd her easily then. But the ones they gave me I started suspecting were wrong but kept giving her sicne they kept ffirming they were good... Titan died, and later, Belmi had lil caugh, and worried he ahd the same thing as Tiotan, I gave him some antibios immediately. LIGHT dosage, rememberign hwo I wondered of they were bad. Belami went from a caugh that was nothign to exremely sick, and I immediately knew. The meds the vet gave me killed Titan.... Or like Eat Eat. After eyars of sleepless nights cooking his food due to my feeling dog food was poisoned, which it was, no paranoia there, it was later anounced, I one day turned him around to massage him, and as I did so, his head did not follow....Yet it was a simple easy half roll....His poor bones could not ake it and he died with a severed or badly dammaged spinal nerve. Months lter I figred what it was: just like Lad, HE TOO had suffered a broken neck and not a heart attack as I thought. I kept thinking of what great teeth he had, how he had no signs of aging, etvc, nd wondered for months howcome he ahd heart attacks. Until I got it: he never did: it was his neck and how he moved: it woudl hurt the spinal nerve and leave him paralysed a while or for weeks, with me massaging him and so on, and he woudl walk again, with difficulty at times, until he woudl make a certain move and fall on the floor agaion, immobile. Sometimes managing to get back up, others, staying there paralysed for a while again or half so or numb for days. All that beause of his neck, and when I turned him on his back o actually stretch his spine which I dd thinking it woudl be of help since he did not get up anymore, to not get oo stiff, well, his head stayed one side not moving nor following at all, and that killed him.....:( With Tiutan, I tried and make her throw up as I could see her tummy was filled with bad liquids due to the antibios:(. She died immediately as I tried that:(. So I get to feel like all I try is what kills them... I know they woudl have died anyway in a matter of days at best, but still.... A healer finds hard that their attempts yield no results in the final moments and can not help but wonder what they did wrong, what they shoudl have done and not have done, etc. Only oen thing comes to consle me then: Chriss's song that always lays ahead f time when oen of my pets will die.... It consoles me after they die to rememebr the time was al;ready decided. It was already set that they woudl die then. It then has nothign to do with me in that even if it did, it was the time already set. Alo, it hit me yesterday more than uual even: if I get this warning eah time, it means there IS Chriss watching over my pets and me and that then there is life ater, which I know but sometime forget in painful moments when I miss my pets too much, and I then know that Chrioss takes great care of them all:).
