Buddie was taken down to VHup in Philly and cared for by the well known and respected avian vet Dr Karen Rosenthal. Buddie had some swelling in her lower abdomen and she was put on Metacam. During the month she was not responding to these meds. We took her for a 1 month visit and she redid some blood work and before we got the test results in Buddie had weakened and fell off her cage top and died. She actually fell 2 times and died from her falls. Dr Rosenthal says that Buddie died from PDD. All this happened the morning that our vacation was to start. We are devastated, especially my husband. Buddie died in his arms. She died with the person she loved so much and she was given kisses from both of us and was reassured that she was loved SO much by everyone.
