Huge hugs. Something my vet said to me a few months ago might be of some comfort. My cockatoo, Oscar, got very sick and was diagnosed with early stage liver disease. Of course I was terribly upset. But as we talked about the changes I needed to make to his diet and environment, he says to me "Maggie, you can't fault yourself for what happened before he got to you. He clearly had a terrible life before you. But he's got a great future *with* you." You gave Pacho a great life from the time you got him. That's all anybody can do.
