Thank you everybody. Leo is down to 127g this morning and pooping out undigested formula. That's just confirmation I'm making the right choice. He deserves to not be in pain just so I can keep him around a little while longer. Our appointment is at 1. It's going to be a tough morning. I do have something to distract myself for a little bit, but after that it's just waiting.

Beatrice, I am so very sorry. My heart goes out to you and Mr. C, and your entire family. Even when our heads tell us what we must do, our hearts still break over doing this one last thing we can do for our beloved babies.
I will be thinking of you all today.

Thank you. We are spending his last hours outside in my back yard. Birds belong outside. That's where he should be.

Beatrice, I'm so saddened by seeing this latest update. Leo knows that you have always loved him dearly, and he knows that you are doing what you need to do out of love. I think they understand. Beautiful photo of Leo enjoying fresh air with his favorite person. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.

I've been through it (ABV and euthanasia) and so have others here. It's heartbreaking, and sadly all too common.

So saddened by this news, you have truly done all you could for the little guy.
I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling. Just know, you and your flock are in everyones thoughts at this difficult time. x

He will always be in our hearts and memories

All our love to you and your flock.
Please forgive me if I feel little Leo is still here, just in a different state of being somehow.
I hope someday I do as much justice to the Rb as you did for Leo.

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
I hope that soon, it will help you to talk about it, because I really want to listen. This is something I need to learn about and prepare for as much as possible, for obvious reasons. Thank you for being so brave as to share the story. You're a beautiful soul, Beatrice.

I haven't been on the forum much this week as I've been busy, so when I saw this my heart broke for you, Leo, and the rest of your flock and family. What a sudden shock. I am just so sorry. I hope you are able to take solace knowing that Leo is no longer in pain and no longer has to endure the many hospital stays, tests, procedures, and treatments. I know there is little that can bring you comfort right now but I hope you find some. Positive energy to you and your family.

And I will be thinking about the rest of your flock, they will be in my heart, hoping for all negative tests for this awful disease.

My deepest condolences for your loss of Leo. He was a gallant fighter and had every bit of help possible. I hope the remainder of your flock remains healthy.

Thank you everybody. This morning has been rough. My house is far too quiet. Leo was my morning instigator. His singing is what started everybody else in the mornings. It's been quiet while he was sick, but I still had hope that his voice would return. Now that it won't the quiet is just so dreadful. A home with birds should never be quiet.

Beatrice, please forgive me for missing this thread, I'm only now catching up. I'm so very sorry for what you gone through. Deepest condolences for the loss of Leo, everything in this thread speaks loudly of how very much Leo was loved. There are no words to lessen the pain I know you're feeling but please know we all understand and we all care. Hugs and healing thoughts to you and yours.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this news Beatrice. You did the selfless thing in letting him go and he went feeling very loved and cared for.

I've been working on a picture of Leo for you, I'll do my best to finish it up today. I believe it's very important to immortalize companions via art, pictures, videos, and/or memories.

I hope you're doing well, I know it's a hard time but we're all here for you.
