He had an accident yesterday and pull a muscle on his left wing.
He still was vital and ate normally poo ok.
Today i had someone looking at him, he was still fine
About three hours ago he stopped eating and got very quiet.
From then he's gone downhill.
He is now in my lap and having seizure like movements no strength in his leg.
Please please someone tell me what I can do for him. Almost, 11 pm here so no vet.

Oh shoot, Barbara. I'm so sorry!

No help to offer here except to keep him warm and calm as possible?

I'm sorry. :(

Where are you? It's possible that there is a 24 hour emergency vet near you. Hopefully they work with birds.

Try searching for a 24 hour vet near your area, online. Then call them and see if they work with birds.

He died a few minutes after I typed the op. Thank you anyway, I think I am in shock and can't even explain what's going on in my head, maybe tomorrow I will be able to make sense.

Put him in a hospital cage and keep him warm and make sure there isn't anything that can hurt him until you can get him to a vet. I hope all goes well.

I'm so sorry Barbara. I don't think there's anything you could have done at home anyway apart from keeping him warm, and maybe nothing that a vet could have done either. It sounds like it was just his time to go, and at least he was able to do it peacefully at home.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

But he died in your lap. The lap of a loving owner, over a warm roof of a comfy home. Though he might have been in pain, he certainly died happy.

Oh no, my poor, poor Keith. :cry:

I can't imagine what you're doing through, but Keith was one of my favorites, as you know, and I am shocked to read that news. I really don't know what to say. But take it to heart that he passed away with you right there with him.
