Charlie is a 1 year old Parakeet in St. Louis, , who needs $1,600 for Bloodwork Test, Antibiotics, and Hospitalization.

Charlie is a young boy parakeet that we adopted in March 2024. He was less than five months old at the time, and he rapidly bonded with our six year old girl parakeet Stevie. They have been playing with their many toys, and singing to the tune of cartoon shows and pop music together.

Unfortunately, we noticed Charlie's beak has been overgrown and he was more quiet and less active recently. We brought him to Kersting Veterinary Hospital, after bloodwork tests, it turns out he has a liver infection. He has been prescribed an antibiotic treatment and ideally he needs to stay under observation at the hospital until he has completely recovered.

Charlie is very curious, loves singing, foraging, and getting into staring contests with the other pets in our home as well. Bringing Charlie in to live with Stevie has changed both of their lives completely. He's loved very much by Stevie, who was originally a rescue. She has struggled alone for many years, without a partner to bond with. They take care of each other and play together.

We are a couple with a dog, a cat and these two birds, renting our home on a single wage. We've had vet bills we could manage in the past, but this time, with the tests and hospital stay, it's over what we can spare each month. We want the best care possible for Charlie.
