Post: Chips is dead

Posted by Emma on 8/26/05

I had a beautiful little canary called Chips who only had
half a leg on one side, and a full leg with only 2 toes on
the other. He got on really well in his cage and I had him
over a year but recently the stump on his leg turned
gangrenous and today we had to have him put down. I am
really devastated as he was such a beautiful bird. My
cockatiel will miss him too as he was the only other bird
in the house. I am so sorry to have lost him. The vet said
the gangrene would have killed him slowly and painfully if
we didn't have him put to sleep. The vet put him in a
little box full of anaesthetic gas until he was asleep and
then she gave him an overdose injection of anaesthetic so
it was very quick and painless. I will really miss him.
