Answer 1

the most painless way to do is puther to sleep so she can be at peace and rest. sorry

Answer 2

It is a sad fact but you don't want her to suffer anymore.  If she is in pain and old the best thing would be to put her to sleep.  I know that it will make you sad but I know you don't want her to be in pain.

The surgery coudl kill her and definitely would stress her out.

I wish there was a better answer.

Answer 3

She is old for a parakeet, and in pain. Do the right thing and give her peace.

Most pets do die before we do, it's just the way it is. I think you will be sad for a little while but happy in the long run that you did what needed to be done.

Answer 4

You need to be strong and stop being selfish here.  The animal is in pain and agony.  She has lived a long good life.  While it's very hard, it not fair to keep her in pain like this.  Put her to sleep.  It's the humane thing to do.
