Anyone have an explanation?

[ernie47]

Hello all,

I came to this forum to perhaps get a explanation about my lorikeet passing. I have had this lorikeet for a couple of years now without incident. My lorikeet usualy sleeps on a DIY bed but we found him on the floor breathing heavily. after picking him up he remained verry calm but couldnt stand. he tried stumbeling around but couldnt get more then a couple of steps, all in all he was just verry weak. What usualy where incredibly loud squacks came out as sad little whines.

i tried calling every animal clinic i could but sinds it was late at night there where no avient doctors available. about half an hour after we found him he sadly passed. im left wondering if i could have done anything, caused this maybe but most of all i just want to know what could have happend. After such a normal day this is the last thing i expected to happen... if anyone has some sort of explanation for me it would be greatly apriciated.

Thanks in advance

I’m really sorry to hear about your lorikeet. It’s so hard to lose a pet, especially so suddenly like that. It sounds like you did everything you could in the moment, and it’s normal to wonder if you could’ve done anything differently, but sometimes these things are totally out of our control. Birds hide illness really well, and by the time they show symptoms, it can already be too late. There could be many reasons for what happened (an overheated Teflon-type pan is a common cause, unfortunately), but try not to blame yourself. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to grieve. Sending hugs.

I agree 100% with @Davi .
In hindsight we always question ouselves what happened, what was the reason, what could I have done differently, if anything.
Please don't be too hard on yourself.
I am so sorry for your loss. xx

Omg this hit hard. That’s exactly how I lost Kiwi. I took her to vet as soon as I realised something was wrong. They had no answers. I had no answers. She passed away within an hour of me noticing. I still don’t know what took her from me.

You can try and get a necropsy done if you still have your baby’s body. I buried Kiwi under her favourite tree and chose not to get one done.

I’m so sorry for your loss - I wish I had answers. I really do. Without closure we tend to blame ourselves a lot. Please, don’t be too hard on yourself. We’re all here for you to grieve and to lean on. Sending hugs to you
