Mr Mechanical is put down

Post by CHIRP » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:43 am

Sadly for me, and I am very sad I had to put down my male Zeb, Mr Mechanical was fighting a mite problem and after 2 weeks I decided I wont let him suffer as he got bad, puffed up, fell of perch and sitting on floor breathing heavily, I tried lots of things, even a vet and special meds and bio tics, I tried it all. Just no ways, so I decided to put him down, one of the worst things I have had to do.

I will miss him and his ways.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It's such a heart-wrenching decision to let a beloved pet go. At least Mr. Mechanical no longer suffers and will be flying free. [-o<

He crept into my heart and was a stunning little guy, but I gave him a great life, place to stay and was always cared for a slept nice and warm, had the best foods so I have a clear mind, just sorry to have to do what I did it was not nice, but he was beyond help, he was just waiting so it was not fair, I did what I did out of kindness, was not easy at all. Now he can sleep well. Thanks all. Gary
