Today, I had to put poor lil Ban aka Chicken Nuggets to sleep. He was very ill & the vet said he didn't think he'd get better. He said that there was a good possibility Ban would die, just from wrapping him up to get an X-ray, so I decided to give him the final kindness and put him to sleep. I buried him out back next to Jaki & Mel in a spot near the house, where when it snows, I open the window & put food out for the birds there on the ground & the window ledge. It's a spot where a dove died & went back into the earth & wild flowers grow. They vet's office gave me a lil clay imprint of his Ban's feet & they put a couple of his pretty blue feathers on it, with a lil prayer/ story about the rainbow bridge so I can remember him. They put Chicken Nuggets on it as that was the name I gave them for him, since he came to be known by that after Jaki died. I miss him so much... *cries*

Aug. 14th, 2018 09:51 amThis has been a crazy past two days. My lil 'keet Chicken Nuggets (aka Ban) woke up on Sunday and just lay flat out on his perches. Occasionally, he'd move over to one of his toys & use it to pull himself upright. My normal vet only accepts drop-offs fro boarding on Sundays, so I spent the day anxious, I'd look over to find the poor thing dead. XD He's nearly 11, which is very old for a 'keet. (Sadly, they're very inbred to get all the fancy colors & probably come from bird mills, so not good healthy stock to begin with.)
Anyways... I felt basically helpless on Sunday, thinking no vet clinics were open. I tried to take him yesterday, but my vet had a scheduled surgery day, so he couldn't see him. They did give me 2 other places to take him. Then I remembered a nearby clinic that I had taken Jaki to. She unfortunately was full of tumors & had to be put down. Given how bad Chicken Nuggets was, I thought he would be put down too, but the vet, who really couldn't do much, as he was afraid the stress of any normal diagnostics would kill my baby, suggested sugar water. If it didn't help, then we could talk about putting Chicken Nuggets down.
Well, the sugar water (1/2 water/ 1/2 sugar) helped! Instead of finding he had passed on this morning, I woke up to him feeling a bit more feisty (he's getting harder to catch in the lil travel/hospital cage he's in & it's really small!) and now he's eating! The poor thing felt sooo awful that he stopped eating on Sunday. I'm just waiting for a call back from the vet to find out how much longer I need to keep giving him the sugar water. XD I know tomorrow, I can pop him back in his cage & I seriously, don't think I need to remove any perches, since he's perching just fine on his seed dish in the lil cage. :D I think I should go look for the perches that came with the lil cage & stick one in there & see how he does. :D
Anyways, please say a prayer for him that he's on the mend & that he'll be around for his 11th bday (in November) and more! :D Thanks!
This is a baby pic of Ban, he's now a lot more yellow than he is white. XD
*cries* As I type this, he's gone from perky to blah again. *is worried*
EDIT: He's now eating and drinking!! *dances* Tomorrow, I'll take him out of his hospital cage & put him back in his regular cage!!
