911 My budgie is weak, not eating- Sad Update Post #4

[Tara81]

My male budgie is on the floor of the cage, and I've noticed its beak is very long. I never noticed his long beak before. I feel really bad about not noticing it, it blends in with his feathers. I am unable to contact a vet in my area until Monday. I want him to not suffer in case he is dying, and a beak trim in case he is unable to eat due to long beak. He is 10 years, 6 months old. I have antibiotics for birds (my other budgie was sick 2 months ago and was lots leftover). I have put him in a small cage, and just added food and water by him on the bottom, after this photo. Is his beak overgrown to the point he cannot eat on his own? Last photo was a picture of his poop after drying. it's just water and white stuff. I tried to syringe feed him, and it seems he wont swallow. I am now trying some cooked mashed veges and quinoa.

small update. He had a semi poop , tasted a tiny bit of mashed veges with quinoa , and i trimmed his beak back to normal with a nail file. He took 4 drinks of water afterwards, but did not eat. He still won't move much and is resting on the bottom of the cage. he can still fly, as he tried to get away from me when i took him out.

I hope he will be okay. I would try to get him to a vet as soon as possible.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

it's so strange. Just two weeks ago I thought I had compared his beak to his buddy, and it looked normal. All-day today his feet were paralyzed. I just didn't realize it until the last time I tried to syringe feed him. I put a warm cloth underneath him and I put his best buddy Poncho in the travel cage with him for a few hours while he passed. He was 10 years and 6 months old. Just didn't think it would upset me this much, considering he had a long life. I hope Poncho doesn't take it too hard.
