ORIGINAL: persephonee hey, sappa...did your lil birdie survive? No, she needed to be euthanized. The poor thing could no longer stand up on her own. She wasn't eating or drinking any water, and even though budgies hardly weigh anything, I felt that she had weight to her at all. The vet offered all sorts of options to prolong her life for a few more months at best, but he could not say that any of them were going to improve her quality of life. It's difficult making end-of-life decisions for pets. I haven't figured out how I'd handle it for people, if called upon to make such a decision.
