Sarasota Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I hope everything is ok. I see you're in CA. So Cal? I know a few avian vets in the SoCal area if this one doesn't work out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywings Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I am hoping it is an allergy rather than an illness, let us know how the Vet visit goes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlepunk Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Vai passed away!!!! =( She faded so fast in such little time I don't know what happened! I'm in complete shock! For a moment her runny nose stopped because shortly after i posted this thread, I checked on her and i didn't see any more mucus...her nostril looked clear, but she still had goopy eyes. I had just gotten her carrier ready and when i went to go grab her, I saw her flip upside down on her perch. I quickly scooped her up in my arms and held her close to me. I knew she was fading. her wings hung limp, she was shaking, but she was holding on. I stepped out the door with her in my arms, the sunlight hit her, she flapped her wings.....and took her last breath.............I've been a wreck ever since. She had just turned 4 months today. RIP my baby Vai. =( =( =( =( =*( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I am so sorry. You were working so hard to get help for her. You must be shattered. She knew you loved her and though your time was short, it was filled with joy of loving her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about Vai, she had a short life but was loved none the less, I suspect she was already sick when you brought her home and you should have a necropsy done to determine the cause for the other birds in that store might be infected by the same thing, again please accept my condolenses on your loss.

Sarasota Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I am so very, very sorry. I don't even know what to say. Judy is right, you should have a necropsy done to ease your mind and let the store/breeder know what happened. My heart hurts for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexispolicastro Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sarah I can't begin to tell u how broken hearted I am for u... she was only home 2 weeks.... u have to know it was nothing u did... but please get the necropsy done and although u are hurting and sad, the breeder must be held somewhat responsible... she could have gotten sick before coming home and nobody would've known... especially if she faded that fast... something could've been wrong before hand... again please accept my deepest sympathies ...

Barbara2 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I am so sorry for you and have complete sympathy for you. I lost my first grey, Neo, to a disease that he carried with him from the breeder. He lived just a little past his first hatch day. He also went very quick. I wasn't even here for him when he died. He was discovered in the bottom of his cage by our pet sitter while we were out of town. The necropsy performed identified the cause which is always fatal. We were just very lucky that our other two parrots did not contract the disease. Just know that you did nothing wrong and everything that you could to save your baby.
