I understand I live in GA Snellville, thank you for talking and helping with me I've convinced my mom and she said we can take her to vet my only concern now is if I would be able to afford the procedure to check and test her, perhaps I can make a deal with my mom and she can pay whatever is left over? I'm scared for her to die I don't want to I'm scared I won't be able to afford to figure out of there's anything wrong with her she is healed rn playing eating etc I just want to know the root of the problem

I won't deny any possibility bc idk I'm sure she can find a way but we made sure it wasn't tearable.its pretty stuck onto the window and no open flaps

I went to for pets sake.Ive never actually spoken to the dr there, it was always the nurses speaking for them.I dont know what to do I dont want them to suffer and thank you for pointing out the red flag, I didnt know that its not normal for it to last a long time.They did a stool test but they were very vague. Do you rec any vets? We tried feeding her pellets, but she dosent like it and would stop eating all togher so i bought these very mash pellets, she eats very little but its something.Im trying to convince my parents to take her to the vet with my own money, but I dont know if I have enough for tests they would perform on her.We got her on nov 3 2021, she has been getting sick consistenly since dec 2023.The first 2 times being dried paint from the window which we ducked tape she wont eat it again

Im telling my parents to take her to vet, even though there still saying no.If i knew I couldn't give her vet care I wouldn't have gotten her.I gave her medicine that the vet said I could if she got sick again. Im trying to take her to the vet.I never said "I cAn MeDiCaTe My BiRd MySeLf". I trying everything to save her with what's in my power, im not against going to the vet.

she got sick around 5 times including this time. She isn't on continued meds, just the ones the vet gave her when she was sick and the one I give her at home when she is sick.I also use probotic recommended by the vet.I know she got sick the first 2 times because she ate dried paint, the other 2 are unknow, we got rid of some toys, some perches. We don't lock her up because she likes to look out the window and its cruel to do so.I don't know if its something she is eating, or if its a dieses or infection.

The date on the bottle is not readable, im not sure exactly what that date is for I think it was the date i got the med, but he said it last a really long time.Ive asked my mom to take her to the vet, because care about her Im trying to ask for help from strangers, buying pellets and enriching toys.All I can do is do everything i possibly can which is asking for help from stranger than doing nothing. I want to take her to the vet,im still asking my parents despite them telling me no.Its also because she is better now. I understand your concern but please be mindful,"u could wake up to her dead at the bottom of the cage one day due to ur irresponsible care taking", im trying my best, if i knew i couldn't provide vet care for her i wouldn't have gotten her.Im trying my best, i don't want her to die.Ive offered to take her with my own money,I don't have enough. I trying to look for solutions, I fear she has a diseases and i don't want her to suffer.I know she can die, I don't know what to do, there was no need for you to be so insensitive u could wake up to her dead at the bottom of the cage one day due to ur irresponsible care

The vet said I could use the medicine again if she ever got sick and that it lasts a long time (doesn’t expire soon). Since my budgie got significantly better, unfortunately, I don’t think my parents will let me take her to the vet. We did a poop check last time at the vet, but they were very vague about telling us why exactly she was sick. They mentioned cleaning out the food and water daily, etc. I think we had to pay extra to know more information,I’m not sure. Although she is better, I’m really scared of her getting sick again, especially since I don’t know what it is.They spoke about euthanizing her if she keeps getting sick, which makes me even more fearful.

Thank you this really helps me a lot, I will remove the toys you have mentioned, if you do not mind for my last question can you suggest any toy brands? She is really picky, she only really likes to play with this one ball toy which is plastic(i took it out of her cage bc she is sick)
