_______________UPDATE___________________ ________


matty came home today!

she is doing much better and although her whole neck is bruised and blue
she seems happy to be back home and was so ready to get out of there she squirmed out of the towel the tech had her in and crawled up into my coat

she came home and ate for a good half hour O___O makes me wonder how they got away with charging 24$ in 'special diet' food for her un only a day...

and with no elevated white count what the hell was this 'mystery illness' they claim she was hiding


the whole thing just makes me turn inside out with rage, and now we're out 650$
that was a HUGE chunk of money that we NEEDED and now I don't know what's going to happen to us..

I may open up commissions to buy my lunch and gas money for a while
but I've never had much luck with commissions so it's not really a stable plan XD


anyway we have presented the case to a few lawyers and are waiting to hear back but somehow I don't think we'll get anywhere. maybe they'd jump on it if Matty died or if it was a group suit but hey I'm hopeful at least

yesterday i took Matty, my 12 year old sunday Conure to the vet for an examination. as some of you may or may not know she is half bald due to feather plucking

well we had taken her to a vet before for bloodwork and they tested for every known avian desiese and levels

we get in yesterday and they did MORE bloodwork and put a cone on her head. they took her back without me there and this took over an hour, way too long i think and i have no idea how it could have taken so loong, she comes out and the cone is so big she couldn't get up on her carry cage perch

we get her home and assume she is being lame and depressed because of the collar and then we realize she CAN'T EAT! so we took the collar off and she ran to her food bowl and ate, drank, chirped and went into her cage to sleep. so we covered her up knowing she had a long stressful day


I woke up this morning and she was in shock....

she was cold, puffed, droopy and incredibly weak. I wrapped her in a towel and cradled her in my shirt till we could get back to the vet... again they took her from me and I haven't seen her since...

the vet said she...may not survive the day... and they charged us 650$ just to leave her there in an incubator with a oxygen, so as far as food, gas, electric, meds our HOME PAYMENT


....we're fucked....




she was FINE yesterday...what ever they did to her in the hour and a half she was back there, has caused this horrible down hill spiral and they seemed so cold and emotionless when we said that.
but apparently they're filming a commercial for the vet today so I guess everything must be perfect...



matty has been my closest pet for 12 long years, if anything happens to her now because of a vet that looks barely 20 years old, and a staff full of super chipper techs that could care less... I'm going to lose my mind and fall apart...

I'll be waiting for the vet to call and update us...
