Blogtober
Blogtober is now in full swing, so far I have posted every day. Yes I know we are only at day 4. But for those taking part, it is a lot of work. Today I am off topic from the prompt and using my day 4 for my weekly round up post. In case you missed my previous posts you can find them below –
- Day 1 – My Favourite Autumn Traditions
- Day 2 – Advent Calendars For The Whole Family
- Day 3 – Favourite Apple Recipes For Autumn
Poorly Budgie
Pippy is not well (the darker blue budgie) she is coming up to 10 months old. We are not sure what is wrong as she is eating and drinking ok. She was sick a couple of weeks ago and a couple of times since. But also crash landing and her balance seems off. Poor Gizmo who is now coming up 5 months old, is worried about her. He will not leave her side
Finding a vet who deals with birds is a lot harder than you would think. Finally we have found one and taking Pippy to the vets tomorrow morning. Hopefully they can make her better, and we will not be out too long as poor Gizmo will feel abandoned.
Christmas Is Coming
You will have seen my advent calendar guide has gone live this week. With so many available I took the decision to post now to give you some ideas that you may not have seen when looking for your perfect advent calendar.
I am also still working and adding to my gift guides –
- Gifts For Children
- Gifts For Her
- Gifts For Him
- Food and Drink Gifts
Giveaways
Don’t forget to check out my latest giveaways – I do have another giveaway to go live which I am loving. Also keep your eyes peeled for another giveaway going live today.
That is a great list! Hope your bird is feeling better! Thanks for sharing it!
She has medicine and seems a bit brighter
Loving blogtover posts
Christmas is coming ! I’ve not a clue what to buy this year
It won,t be long I have 3 birthdays to sort first
I am not familiar with how to care for birds at all. I hope your budgie is doing ok!
I haven’t been blogging much at all in October – due to fall sports!
They are pretty easy to care for, she is hating the medicinee though
If they didn’t find anything wrong why did they prescribe her with anti inflammatory meds? I guess there is no side effects of her taking it and just for precaution right? Either way I hope she’s okay and recovering. So sweet to see that side of Gizmo taking care of her too. It seems everyone here cares about her greatly too.
They could not see or feel anyting obvious, she seems to be flying better but hating the medicine
So sorry to hear about the one bird not feeling well. Glad there is another bird friend to be near.
She went to the vets yesterday and was not impressed. She was sulking with me later in the day about it
Please update us on Pippy’s well-being. The birds are so gentle creatures. It’s emotional when you cannot figure out how to help them.
We took her to the vets yesterday and nothing seemed bad so has some anti inflamatory meds and go back next week for x rays if no better
Wow, going strong with Blogtober! 🍂 It’s impressive how you’re keeping up with daily posts. Love the variety in your content – from autumn traditions to advent calendars and now a weekly round-up. Looking forward to more!
Thank you it can get stressful but is fun to take part in
I get the vet thing, we had some rabbits for a short period that we were fostering and trying to find a vet for a a spay was a huge pain because they are considered “exotic” animals. Birds, Rats, Ferrets, etc can be a pain to find vets for as well. I hope your birdy starts to feel better soon!
It was a nightmare but they were lovely, hopefully she will start feeling better soon
Aww! Sad to hear that Pippy is sick hope she will be fine soon. You are right days are really fast.
We saw the vets today and have some medication that she is not happy about haha
I’m sorry that your budgie are poorly, I really hope that they get better soon.
Thank you just back from the vets with medication which hopefully will help
I really hope little Pippy is OK! It is always a worry when a pet isn’t well. I hope you have a good week.
Thank you just getting sorted to go to the vet
Sorry to hear about Pippy. When our bird was being sick it was because they had been eating the cotton strands and fluff from one of their toys. Hope she gets better soon
We have changed their food back to seed rather than pellets which C had read up about. The only reason we changed was because Gizmo wouldn’t eat the seed and used to kick it out the cage so am hoping it is just that
I’m joining in with Blogtober and the commenting but I think I will be off topic from the prompts most days.
Aww! I hope Pippy is better soon. Poor thing. x
I will probably be the same, although I do like the prompts
Blogtober is definitely a challenge. I’m right there with you. And I hope your bird feels better!
It is a challenge but fun to do, she is a lot better now
Sounds like a busy time – I hope you bird, Pippy , feels better soon. Giveaways sound great.
Thank you we are just getting ready to go to the vets
I hope your bird feels better soon! I also can’t wait to see your holiday gift guides!
Thank you, have vets tomorrow, she is worrying me and hope it is nothing serious
Aww, I hope Pippy starts feeling better soon. Now that you have a vet, things should go much more smoothly!
Thank you she is worrying me and I hate that I can’t make her better,
I’m having a nosey at your give aways and entered the AcuPips one.
Good luck they are great and do work
I can’t can’t can’t believe it is already Christmas, well almost…Time really flies…The most enjoyable season for sure.
It is approaching fast
This is a great wrap up list!
