Junior is my 10+ year old budgie. I'm not sure what to do. She's really old and she doesn't have Sparky anymore. I think she might have just given up. It's Sunday and I can take her to the Ermengency vet. Not sure if they could help her and it might stress her out more. The drive to the Emergency vet is really far. Honestly, what do you suggest?

I'm so so so so sorry. Please keep her warm and comfortable. If she is still looking distressed tomorrow, take her to the vet :hug8:

How is she acting? Eating, pooping, etc?

Maybe you can call the vet and see what they advise? I understand the concern about too much stress for a little bird but maybe there is something they can advise to help?

She's not that old, so don't write her off so soon! My CJ is 21 years old. Can you call your vet and ask him? SOme have emergency numbers.

From having been where you are not long ago, do all of the supportive care and love her/him.
