Horus.. will be missed :(

A handful of you know, that my bird Horus got sick recently, so I took him to the vet.

He had a TON of fluids in his abdomen, and lungs. They drained some of it and found he had a couple of cysts on his kidneys.

His liver and kidneys were not doing well.

We had to leave him there over night. I called this morning to check on him..

The tech that answered was excited! She said that he almost passed away a few times throughout the night, so when she came in that morning, and saw he sat up, and started eating food.. she was so happy she even grabbed another employee to show her that he seemed to be improving..

but just a few minutes ago, the vet called to let me know that Horus didn't make it. He said the entire office is devastated, because he was such a sweet bird that even the non bird folk liked him.

The vet asked if he could do an autopsy (for free) to see if he could find a cause for this. I am waiting for his results.

Goodbye Horus.. you will be missed terribly.







and a couple photos.. from the last few minutes I was able to see him..

I can relate to the horrible pain your feeling right now :-( Peanut my white capped Pionus passed away on me suddenly at the Vet's also. I still cry when different things remind me of him. I lost him 5 yrs ago and miss him everyday. I have 3 other parrots and I don't have a bond with them like I did with Peanut. Losing him was the hardest animal loss I think I will ever face. I'm sorry I know how you feel I wish we didn't have to feel this.

I have one other bird now.. a quaker who is very bonded to me. but Horus was more the "baby".. Heck, if I were to die.. Horus would have the only animal my husband would have kept..

I am glad to see another lover of the Pionus.. Best bird breed I have ever met.

Hi Brandi,
I have a blue-headed pionus, Lyric. I'm very sorry for your loss. I've kept parrots most of my life, and it's extremely hard to lose them. My scarlet macaw, Carmen, kept saying 'I love you' when I took her to be euthanized for cancer. I feel your pain!

I am so happy to see so many people that love the Pionus!! SOOOoo many people have no idea what they even are..

Thank you all so much for the support.. The vet called me.. the autopsy shows that Horus was a female.. and was riddled with Cancer.. He said he was amazed how bad it was. Even more amazed that Horus made it as long as she did.

This at least gives me the comfort to know that it a) was not something I could have caused.. b) is not contaigous and c) I could not have prevented it ..
