I accepted what the vet said that it would be painful to tap it. I wanted it drained to give her a few more days but he talked me out of it.
This is the same vet who put Daisy down. I should have let her live her last days in the flock like a normal cockatiel. She may have been hurting but she would be happy.
This was Banfield.
Charles is looking for an exotic pet clinic with more than one vet and is 24/7. We may have to pay more but my babies will have a better chance.
That evening when I went to feed, Flutter was not in the flock. He was all alone on a high perch.
This is the second mate that he has lost.
I have been looking for a female to add to my flock to balance the male and female thing. Now I really need to find one. I have been searching CL and
http://www.rescueme.com but have only found pairs.
I guess I will post on CL in case someone was considering rehoming.
