She really needs a vet. I'm sorry that she's having all these health problems. Can you do an online vet consult if you can't get her to a vet in person.

She is obviously ill and when a creature is ill their immune system is compromised. She is susceptible to anything without help from medication.

Your bird will not get better without vet help.
Please either find a way to convince your parents to be fair and take her to a vet or seriously consider and look into signing her over to someone who will help her.
I don’t say any of this to be mean or hurtful to you but keeping her from the medical attention she obviously needs and watching all the seizures and now eye problems happening is really not fair to her so if you can’t get her the medical help she needs I do honestly believe it is best to give her to a home where she will be taken to the vet for the help she is in need of to live a comfortable life.

I know your trying your best, but your bird really needs a vet. I hope you can convince your mom, and your bird will be okay. Is their another relative you can ask?

When you go to the vet, pay close attention to everything he tells you. ASK HIM/HER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. Take a notebook with you to write down what he tells you!!!

I am praying that little bird has a vet appointment today. She’s definitely suffering. Glad you are an advocate for her.

Me too! Right now she hasn't gotten better, but I wouldn't say she's gotten worse either. She should be okay, I don't know when the earliest she can get to the vet is though, but ASAP!

Be sure your mum tells the person on the phone that the bird has been having seizures. If you just book ¨an appointment¨ they might see that as non-urgent, if you say ¨it´s urgent, my bird is having seizures¨, they might be able to bump you up the queue a little.

Thanks for the tip! I'll tell her that.
