This morning I heard wings flapping around cage bars in my sun conure’s cage, so I went to check on him. I found him on the bottom of the cage shaking with his feet up. I panicked and picked him up and he started screaming in fear/pain and was agressively biting me. I brought him to my room and he flied into my bed and tucked his head into a corner. Whenever I tried to get my hands near him he started screaming again and kept running from me. He got under my blanket and I let him stay there, he would calm down and stare blankly, but few minutes later the shaking started again (mostly his head and wings and his beak wide open) and he was panicking again. This kept repeating. Me and my mom got ready quickly to take him to the vet. I had to hold him on my chest the whole time because when I put him in a cage he went INSANE and I was scared of him dying due to the stress. During the ride the shaking kept occuring. We got to the vet and... I put him on the table and he panicked so much that he stopped moving. The vet started resuscitation immediately and was able to revive him. She put him into a oxygen box because he was panting... that’s all they were able to do and they were pretty clueless and we had to drive to a vet 1 and half hours away from us - the closest avian veterinary. The ride was absolutely nerve wrecking and I just wanted to cry. Every few minutes he started shaking with his beak open and looking absolutely terrified. It was really hard to watch. His “strokes” were getting louder and louder. We were 30 minutes away from the vet. He got his last stroke. My beautiful sun conure died right in my hands today. I am absolutely devastated. He filled such a huge gap in my heart after losing a pet before. And now he’s gone...
