Okay, this is a frustrating and upsetting situation. Here's a revised story that reflects your experience and aims to raise funds for proper care for your bird:
Urgent Help Needed for My Little Fighter After a Failed Vet Experience
(Include a photo of your sick bird here. It can be a recent one showing its current state, or a favorite photo of them when they were healthy.)
My heart is breaking. My precious bird has taken a turn for the worse after a distressing experience at the Underwood Emergency Vet. Just recently, I rushed my little companion to their clinic when they started exhibiting worrying symptoms like vomiting and acting very strangely.
What followed was deeply concerning. Despite my clear description of the alarming signs, the veterinarian chose not to run any diagnostic tests to understand what was truly wrong. Instead, they seemed to rely on assumptions, administering two calcium shots for which I was charged a staggering $1200. Sadly, these injections provided no meaningful improvement to my bird's condition.
Before even proceeding with any further assessment or treatment plan, I was asked to pay an additional $800 upfront. Desperate to help my feathered friend, I paid the full amount requested. Following this payment, I was simply told to take my bird home and return if their condition worsened.
Tragically, that's exactly what has happened. My little one is now even sicker. The vomiting has returned, they are incredibly reluctant to leave their cage, and I've now noticed blood in their droppings – a truly alarming sign.
Adding to my distress, during the initial vet visit, I even observed bugs falling off my bird, a detail I pointed out to the staff. Their reaction was dismissive, and no action was taken.
When I contacted the Underwood Emergency Vet again about my bird's worsening state, their immediate response was to discuss a payment plan – despite already having received $1200 from me for ineffective treatment. It has become clear that their priority seems to be financial gain rather than providing the thorough and compassionate care my bird desperately needs.
Now, I'm left in a desperate situation. My little fighter needs proper diagnosis and treatment from a vet who will listen, investigate, and prioritize their well-being. I need to find a new, trustworthy avian veterinarian who can get to the bottom of what's making my bird so sick and give them a real chance at recovery.
This unexpected and frankly, negligent experience has not only jeopardized my bird's health but has also left me with significant and unexpected veterinary bills without any positive outcome.
That's why I'm reaching out to you, kind hearts and animal lovers. I urgently need to raise funds to seek proper veterinary care for my beloved bird. Your generous contributions will go directly towards:
* Consultation with a qualified avian veterinarian: To get an accurate diagnosis.
* Essential diagnostic tests: Including blood work, fecal exams, and any other necessary investigations.
* Effective treatment: Including appropriate medication and supportive care to help my bird heal.
Every single donation, no matter how small, will make a crucial difference in giving my little one a fighting chance. I'm determined to find a vet who will truly help and give my bird the care they deserve.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please help me bring my little friend back to health.
