Sorry to hear he didn't make it! :(


As horrible as this may be, you might need to store his body in the fridge and wait until your vet gets back.

Not the freezer.... the freezer destroys tissues and makes doing a necropsy so much more difficult. There's a much higher chance of getting an inconclusive result on a necropsy if the body is stored in the freezer instead of the fridge.

I have an appointment tomorrow morning to take him in to another vet in the area. And yes his poor body is being stored in the fridge.

I feel your sorrow. One of my first Lovebirds got sick, she was always friendly so when she would get puffed and fall asleep on my shoulder I didn't think much of it. She started shaking and stopped eating and drinking all together, so I cried to my dad and we were off to the vet at 1:30 am. They told me she was depressed, dehydrated, starved (made me look like a bad owner,) and having issues breathing. My Lovie didn't make it through the night. So I know how you feel, but I also waited till the last possible minute. Plus I didn't want my Lovie's brother see his little sister pass in front of him.

Hug from me and my 2 flock mates. :hug8: :hug8: :heart: :heart: :heart:

I can't believe how much I missed his chirps and whistles today when I was spending time with my birds. He never let me touch him and he never wanted me close but he loved to whistle back and forth to me when I was across the room.
