Hi My loving 22yr quaker Taco passed away unexpectedly. I had no clue he was so sick.
On Monday, Taco bit me a few times he ate and behaved normally, He bit in the past i thought he was upset that my cat who died a two weeks prior after a long illness. My cat had me so busy taking care of him.
Wednesday night I noticed Taco not eating much he bit me while putting him in his night cage with heating pad always had heating pad because Taco pulled his feathers out years ago and was deemed that it was behavioral and he was falling at night and i didn’t want him to get hurt . Every night while putting him in his night cage and covering him he would say i love you but he did not say it .. I knew he was not feeling well. Thursday, In the morning i called the vet got an appointment at 4 pm Since i did not think it was an emergency i took the next available appointment. He ate some banana but not his oatmeal and he drank water and him and I hung out on the couch he under the scarf right next to me until lunch he loved hanging with me. He tried to eat lunch but was not interested he would take it in his mouth and drop it. He had diarrhea and we got ready for the vet. While driving him to his appointment I noticed him breathing heavy, 1st time I observed it not while he was with me under his scarf. We arrived at the vet i had to wait in the car for the tech to pick him up in his carrier covid-19 rules i could not go with him.
The vet called me while i waited in the car she said Taco was a sick birdie, he was dehydrated and had water in his lungs he needed to stay in the hospital she would give him fluids and an X-ray and oxygen. The next morning she called and said that he died in the morning she never got a xray he was not up for it she said it could have been his kidneys
I am feeling so devastated and i feel that i missed something. He had kidney issues and i gave him his medication twice daily for four years Plus meloxicam for arthritis. Even that morning he took his med no sign of being real sick except for diarrhea and not eating much. I. Hindsight I gave him his weekly showers Maybe he got sick the shower, I do not know.
I am so heartbroken I feel so sad did i kill my baby?
