My budgie is all puffed up and his eyes are slit, we went away for a week?

Question

we had someone check up on him at the end of the week and he was fine but when we came home he was very sick.

he may have an upset stomach

Answer 1

Ate the cat?

Answer 2

He was probably very lonely so next time you go on vacation you need to take him with you or somewhere where someone can take care of him because they can't stay by themselves for that long.

I hope I helped!

Answer 3

If you left him alone for a week, he was probably stressed real bad because of loneliness -- just having someone change his food, water, and cage paper isn't enough. And even that once a week?! The food and water dishes have to be changed daily, and the cage should be cleaned daily as well, or else the f***s may build up hostile bacteria -- that may have happened for your budgie. Birds are usually good at hiding illnesses, so I suppose that your budgie must be pretty sick since it's actually showing illnesses. Take it immediately to an avian vet! Visit http://www.aav.org to find the nearest avian vet.

And next time, do thorough research and find a pet bird sitter or a friend when you're away.

Answer 4

Birds do not show signs of illness until they are very sick, you should take it to a vet.
