To preface this post, our 19 week old Vizsla, Ziva is fine, however first thing this morning I noticed that our 9 year old Double Yellow Head Amazon was not himself, not talking to me and singing like normal, noticed the poop in the cage was yellow and when I picked him up to love him his entire underside was swollen. Rushed him to the vet immediately and upon a few minutes of arriving there he was dead in my hands. I was in shock and still in. Our vet was speechless. He has always told me Ziggy was the best carried for, fed and loved parrot he had ever had his in practice. His body had filled up with fluid and was pressing on his heart and when they started to examine him that tiny bit of stress was enough to shut down his heart along with all the pressure of the fluid. Myself, our vet and the tech all just stood there totally numb. For the last 9 years Ziggy has kept our household lively and created nearly non-stop laughter.
I know that all things that live must die... but tonight my heart is broken.
Our vet reminded me that I had waited for over 10 years to get another dog and now with Ziva she will help to heal my broken heart... all things happen for a reason and in their own time.... Cherish each moment with those you love, human, furred and feathered.
