RIP Cheddar :(

[YUMgrinder]

My heart is broken. Cheddar made it to the Vet just fine, she was eating and drinking there. She fell asleep near me while waiting. This is her last photo with us.

The Vet took her blood and she passed away shortly afterwards.

Oh no, poor Cheddar you dirpy darling girl!

I’m so sorry for your loss YUMgrinder, you did everything you could and Cheddar would have known love and comfort because of you, and that’s what is important.

She is flying high & free now. Big hugs to you!

I'm so sorry for your loss! This is a cute photo

 

[YUMgrinder]

The vet was suppose to help. She would be alive right now if I hadn't taken her in. I'm in crisis and I want to die! I want to dig a hole... jump inside it and just die. This is not happening this has to be a dream

I’m so sorry for your loss. Cheddar was clearly loved and well taken care of, and that’s what matters. I would be absolutely DEVASTATED if that happened to one of my fids.

I'm new here. You don't know that bringing her in caused her death, and you did what you thought was the absolute best thing for your baby. Cheddar died surrounded by people who loved her. Everyone here feels your pain in one way or another -- while it's a small comfort, you can know that you're not alone. Hang in there. I just lost my baby (GCC) and am still heartbroken, but it's improving. You'll miss Cheddar forever, but the pain will lessen so you can focus on the great times you had together. *hugs*

I don't have the words YUM........I'm ....I'm; my sympathies are with you, I'm actually a little misty now. That's all I can say...anything else would be platitudes.....but you gave Cheddar a life of happiness, at least consider that.

 

[YUMgrinder]

her last moments were in a scary vet room with strangers poking her with needles. She probably thought I abandoned her and she couldn't bear it. I feel so AWFUL I should have kept her close to me snuggling in my neck where she was happiest. She shouldn't have had to die scared and alone. I ***ked it up she thought I left her there to die. I miss her so much already guys I miss her so much

 

[clark_conure]

don't think like that, I'm sure in the last moments cheddar was probably in a haze. His last moments were of you concerned about him and the night before he had dreams about all of your adventures.

 

[LaManuka]

Please don’t blame yourself!! I lost my baby boy about 3 months ago and was unable to be with him at the end either and I think that’s what’s making it worse for you. You knew she was compromised all along but you gave her a life a thousand times better than she had before!

No mere words will ease your pain right now and you need time to grieve for her but you were trying to do the right thing by her in seeking help. I hope you have someone close there who can help you now, and everyone here will support you!

I am so sorry for your loss. Hope you can find peace in such a tough moment.

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


:`(


Don't blame yourself. You've done everything you could do to her. Poor, sweet, beutiful Bird. RIP, Cheddar..........




I'm sad.

 

[Laurasea]

My deepest sympathy to you. Such a sad loss of a beloved friend. Cheddar was sick, talking him to the vet was the only way to give him a chance....It might have been even harder to lose him at home, thinking you hadn't done everything you could have. You did the right thing. It just hurts so d#$# much to loose em.....I have lost my wonderful GCC Burt the Bird earlier this year it hurts! You have to grieve, but don't second guess your self you acted with love.

 

[YUMgrinder]

I'm just in shock. I don't know what to do about jazz now. He will be very confused where his favorite buddy is. Should I show him cheddars body when I pick her up to take home? How do I let the rest of the flock know she's not coming back...?

 

[LaManuka]

Yes I think you should do that, and tell the rest of the flock that Cheddar is at peace now. You and they will need to lean on each other for support.

Yum, hear me out right now!
Your Cheddar was loved, and that is the greatest treasure any parront can give to a bird, from here to Eternity, not to mention that it's more than most precious parrots every experience!
Sorry, I don't ever want to deny you your grief and horror, but...
I only hope I can give the same precious gift to my Rb someday.
If I were next door I would be over there right now to give you a big shake and a hug.

THANK YOU for letting us share this with you.

 

[ChristaNL]

I am so sorry for your grief, Cheddar and you both tried your best - and it was a great effort.
Love and be loved ...in the end that is all that matters, the rest is just filler.


She needed you in her life, you were there.


(maybe she needed to be away from you for a bit because she could not let go otherwise; it is why sometimes animals hide as well - it is their time, even though they do not really want to leave their people, they have to)

I need a hug. I've been at work trying to hold back all these tears. I just... just... like... I don't even know. She gained 7 grams in the last two days and I am just absolutely shocked that this happened while at the vet. getting her weight up was working I should have just stuck with it. I'm convinced she'd still be alive right now if I kept her home with her family. UUUUUGHHHHHH I need beer. lots of beer tonight.

 

[Rival_of_the_Rickeybird]

My ol' lady has your cyber-hugs right here.
Take care of everything at home............... get everything set for tomorrow.................then have a few beers..................
Check in with us TOMORROW and EVERY DAY for a while.

 

[Inger]

YUM, I'm so very sorry.
