Hello,
I have my little budgie girl for about 7 years, I got her since very early age, so she would be around 7 years old. She is well bonded with me over the long years, but I let her be free in the house, so she has always open cage.
She was growing old and sad recently, so I got her a company bird, another young male. She started to be more lively again and bonded with him very well, she started flying around a lot more and overlall more energetic and happy.
However, recently I discovered she has developed a bump on her tummy, two days ago!, but it is quite high on her chest, rather than at her lower part. She is also too old now to have eggs, maybe? Also, she has never laid an egg yet! I thought it could be egg bind but when I held her this looks more like tumor. She is fine otherwise, even after investigating her she was a little uncomfortable, poor thing, but she got back to herself after 10 minutes and cheerful back again.
I have a vet appointment on Monday (its Saturday today), but that is a long way, so I hope maybe some of you are more experienced and know of what could it be and prepare me for what to expect at the vet.. Many thanks!
