Barefoot Parrot
Sprinting down the street
I had been giving Puddle antibiotics and benebac for her toenail, which Monty injured. The vet said it would fall off. This morning I saw her at the bottom of her cage in the corner closest to me. I put her back up and turned the heater so it was going more towards her. I gave her the antibiotics at 9. I was emailing my vet when she fell off her perch, I put her in my shirt and as I was finishing up my email she had a seizure. She had several more seizures afterwards, she was still alive. My dad was taking a shower and I was waiting until he was done so we could drive the forty minutes it is to the vet. She had her last seizure where she stretched her head out and moved it around really fast. It was scary. At 9:25 I noticed her eyes were in an unnatural position, half closed. She died in my hands. I've been carrying her around with me. I'll never have a cute little bird hang from my hat to tap my nose with her beak and make little 'cheezt!' sounds. I'll never have a little bird tap my finger through the bars of the cage was I pet her beak. I just can't believe she's gone...
