My parakeet has been diagnosed as having an (inoperable)
abdominal tumor. The vet says this is not uncommon. He
(the parakeet not the vet) is on antibiotics in order to
fight secondary infections.

My question is ,have any of you cared for a bird with such a
tumor, and for how long did the bird survive? The vet pretty
much said, the better you care for the bird, the longer he
will live.
