Hello everyone. It devastates me to update you all that Merlin sadly passed away last night at home.
He had been staying with the vet for a couple of days after his procedure while they monitored him and ensured he was getting his antibiotics, and every update I had about him from the vets had been positive - "he's improving a lot, he seems much brighter, he's been very chatty today, he's been bouncing around all over our hands when we've gone to feed him, he loves his food and is eating well" etc.
However, when I went to pick him up yesterday he didn't seem right. He was barely moving and was so so quiet, but the vet reassured me that there would be ups and downs and that although we weren't out of the woods yet I was okay to take him home and continue his treatment there. Sadly he only worsened when we got home. I laid him on my chest to keep him warm and he snuggled right in and stayed there until he passed.
I've been around and around in my head wondering if there was anything I could have done differently. But I have to hope that at the end of the day, I did the best I could.
I can't put into words how devastated we are. He was my best friend, who I spent every single day with since the day I got him. My partner, who I met 2 years ago became the most loving budgie Dad to him and made his life even better. I loved him more than I ever thought was possible and I will miss him every day.
When I can muster the spoons I'll make a little post on the In Memory section with some photos.
Thank you to everyone who offered advice and get well wishes for Merlin. I hope I did everything I could and that I gave him a good life

I'm so sorry that Merlin had to leave you, MarthaElise.
It's devastating to lose a friend and loved one this way, and the thoughts you will have will make it worse.
However, I can't think of anything you could have done better. He passed away in a loving way and in the end, that's all you can hope for and do for him.
Fly high Merlin
