Hospital unit

What a lucky bird to have you, hope she gets to come home soon.

After reading this my eyes got all watery...

Lucky is Lucky to have a person like you and Coco caring for her!

Sending some hugs

Lucky is so precious. So sorry you all are having to go through this.

Bird Visits Sick Friend In Hospital To Give Her Kisses - The Dodo

 

[Tyrion]

WOW..what are wonderful read ...love them both so glad your watching over them

 

[Karen]

Danita is there a place that rents incubators or does the vet have one to spare?

 

[iamwhoiam]

Beautiful story.

 

[Danita]

She says she is going to lend me one now and a O2 thing.
She was home last night, but she had that wheeze still, just not as bad as when she first went in.
I guess I can't just expect her to get *better* she won't. It will just get a little bit worse every week. I need to stop looking for her to go back to normal.
She is on two injectable antibiotics and a pain med.
Then of course her O2
ugh

I bet Coco was thrilled to see her, and she was happy to see Coco. What could be better for her spirits than being able to be with the Best Momma and your Best Friend?!!!!

@Danita, I have been afraid to ask but I seem to remember Coco being in a unit too, or in with Lucky when you first brought them home. What is Coco's prognosis? Is she well apart from the feather issues?

Coco has a heart thing.
Sorry guys, when the vet tells me what's wrong with them, it's like a ton of bricks falling on my head and I blank out. Never remember details.

Sorry for bringing it up. I thought she had something but with Lucky's more pressing issues, I could not remember. Sending comforting thoughts to all three of you girls.

She seemed better, that terrible breathing is gone. I want her to come home, the vet is always so busy. I was going to order one of those units for her but she said she needs to look into a good one and I hate to bug her and ask. She said that she felt that Lucky just looks blank sometimes and stands up tall. Not sure what that was insinuating but she thought Coco should stay the day maybe overnight.
Coco was likely acting like a little brat so they wanted me to pick her up last night lol
When I visit and hold her she wraps her wings around me, omg, kills me.
KILLS ME
Here is the worst picture in the world, I went to leave and put my hand up against the unit and she put her foot up against my hand. That poor bird, she just does not deserve her life to end when she finally has her own person and family.

Just looking at that picture made me tearing up.

It's hard, whatever it takes, your keeping her comfortable.

this is normal. it's called being human. It's okay.

This is never easy though it sounds easy. Just know that you have an entire forum behind you. Know that you are doing everything right, and that there is nothing else you could or should be doing.

Danita, They are so lucky to have you. Look at what you have given them....a real home and unconditional love. You are a remarkable human being

Don't be sorry!

So she's home. I got them to give me the morphine for the morning. So she doesn't have to wait until she gets there. She gets an injection of it at the clinic before I bring her home.
Now I won't stress in the morning!

Sending many prayers for sweet Lucky.
She's in the best hands, and she's surrounded by people who love her. That's all any of us can ask for.

 

[Danita]

I wonder why am I doing this?
The Dr hasn't said she is suffering at all.
However, needling her, putting her in O2, getting her loopy on meds, driving back and forth. Only to keep her around. I am doing all this for her, but is this really for her?
Last night she coughed up her food. Just a bit, but still she did that.
I peeked in on them before I went to bed, Lucky had her Wing around Coco, they were sleeping.

Sending a hug.
I wish I had something better to offer but I have trouble letting go.
