Hi Tracey

Very sorry to hear that Ica is unwell, I know I may be clutching at straws here but the symptoms you describe were the same for sugar my lutino when she got ill, and that was down to heavy metal poisoning which is curred with an antidote. It might be worth mentioning to your vet, as I know from your previous posts Ica is a bit of a chewer.

Hello

Ica update:

Firstly, after you post Kevin about lead poisoning i double checked my door in the front room and found on the other side (which i didn't know he had access to) there was a bit of the decorative lead stuff missing. i phoned the vet immediatly & told him this.

The vet said that he had a good night and that he had made good progress and for me to go down with a view to possibly bringing him home. I went down and he had indeed perked up from yesterday somewhat and was eating and seemed a little better - still unable to use his feet properly. the vet said he was confident that i should be able to nurse him and bearing in my the poisoning was going to look up what could be given, but just in case, continue with anitibotics in case was infection.

Extremly happy, i drove him home which takes 2 mins in car, the vets is literally at the end of my road, when i put him in the front room facing his cage and started moving things around for him to go back in it he seemed to realise where he was, then he kind of put his head back, then forward, fell off his perch and died. this was about 10 minutes after he had been ok at the vets.

It was almost like he'd waited to come home.

I and the rest of my family are absolutely devastated, i cannot stop crying.

I phoned the vet and he was uspet (they all thought Ica was wonderful) and he offered for me to go down and have a post mortom xray. i have just got back - it showed a mass in his stomach that could be lead..the vet said from the amount no antidote would have worked & that it is possible that the poisoning caused neurological damage resulting in a seizure that killed him.

I didn't know he had been on that side of the door - we always had loads of things on the other side to deter him from it. I blame myself

and the door

the door is going

my house doesn't feel like a home anymore

Tracey crying crying crying crying crying

So sorry to hear about Ica Tracey, I know this is a hard time for you and your family but I think you were right about Ica coming home to where he lived and then passing away, much better than a strange place.

He will be missed on the forum as he was one of the first Parrotlets on here :(

Oh Tracey, that's really terrible news. Don't blame yourself though, I'm sure Ica knew how much you loved him. There are some accidents that just can't be anticipated. It's good that he could be home with you in the end. crying

I am so sorry to read the terrible news. I don't write much here, but I do read and I was following Ica's struggle with hope every day. I was shattered when I read this. I do believe that they truly know when they ae loved and you should carry that with you during this hard time.
