I need help urgently.
I had a little rescue budgie who passed away last Saturday and we had to have post-mortem tests done on her to ensure if something happened to my other budgie, Lotus, we'd be able to save her.
Tests came back saying she died from/had psittacosis. How likely is it Lotus has it now? They shared a cage for about 4 days. (I should have quarantined them, I'm aware. I already feel incredibly guilty)
The vet wants me to bring her in so they can put her to sleep!
Surely this isn't how it has to be, I've read it's treatable!
She's been on baytril since last Saturday and she has been showing tail bobbing and fluffing up.
How is it treated, exactly. I need to know everything and anything I can to convince the vet to treat her.
Please, I love her so much.
They said she won't get any better on the antibiotics we've got for her, which they've also said is the strongest antibiotic for birds they possess. Surely they could order the antibiotics needed in?
They said they'd look into it and discuss it with me when I took her down, but I don't feel hopeful that they're going to do anything but recommend they put her down.
She's under 4 months, she's got so much left to live. Surely there's some way to save her.
