I have read this but not participated. After reading this there's no way I can't say what needs to be said.I have no funds.
I have no job to pay the care credit later.
I have no cash to cab to and from the Vet even if I were to use care credit.
I feel like I'm being attacked for not taking him to the Vet but I CAN'T. My mother refuses to pay for a bird thats not going to stay.
I appreciate Gary's offer, but for that I would have to be able to pay for the initial Vet bill, which I myself can not.
You (or your mom) should never have gotten a bird if you cannot pay for the care and upkeep. Birds cost a LOT of money, especially the big guys. The fact that the breeder sent him out to you is a problem, knowing that they've had problems it shows he's deficient in his care of them.
The fact of the matter is you are now responsible for this baby. Find some way to get it what it needs or get it to someone who can get him the care he needs. Shipping him back to the breeder is an option, yes, but most likely a bad one as the baby will die if that breeder was willing to sell to you unweaned in the first place. If you do ship him back, get IN WRITING that you'll get a full refund because he was unable to provide a healthy baby. Either way, he needs to be in better shape before you send him back or he'll die in transit. JR made a VERY generous offer that you should accept.
Does anyone know someone locally who might help, or a rescue who could help?
