Stuart, Kela says Hi! This little girl had a hesterectomy the next day. She had egg binding two seasons in a row so the vet decided to operate. Egg binding is extremely dangerous for these little girls and often fatal. Also common in cockateils. We have the best avian vet on the planet here in Southern California. She is has her birdie zippidy doo dah attitude back and is just as happy as can be.
Thank you so much for saving this sweet girl. So many think of budgies as disposable. :( My budgie had his leg amputated a month ago because of a tumor. Some people thought it was crazy to spend the money but he is family and my responsibility.
Totally agree, not crazy. This little girl made it thru her surgery and lived another year, but finally succumbed to the large hernia that made a bulge outside her tummy, comingling blood veins, fatty tissue and eventually leaky gut issues. She was a tiny package just bursting with love, affection and personality. I gladly spent what it took to help her recover. Lost her just a month ago and still can't stop crying.
