Conure accidentally stepped on!!!

[vanabelle97]

Hey guys I have a green cheek conure who just turned three months yesterday and we had an accident where my mom accidentally had stepped on him while he had been trying to crawl down the couch and surprise her on her way in from putting some laundry in and she stepped on him. We took him to the vet and they said his breathing and everything seems to be okayy but I do have some concerns on excessive sneezing and the way he’s much more quiet and sleeping a lot more. Of course he’s been prescribed some medicine for his pain and it can make him more sleepy but hes normally much more lively and verbal and very hyper and we haven’t seen much of that since he got stepped on and I just wanted to know if anyone’s experienced this before and if he’ll go back to his normal hyper and happy self again.

Welcome to the forums, sorry that you’ve had to come here under such terrible circumstance though!

So your conure was stepped on yesterday? I think, since he’s not injured he may be stressed from going to the vet. What medicine did they prescribe and what did the vet say it was for exactly?

They prescribed meloxicam they told me it would help with any pain he had, inflammation and abit of sedation.

Oh I see.

So is he eating and drinking as normal? I would think he’s just stressed right now.
What’s your babies name?

Did they xray him?

They didn’t X-ray him since they didn’t seem to find any concerning symptoms when they checked him out, also due to the greater risks that having him sedated for an X-ray could cause.

That's why I asked. If he had been sedated for an x-ray he might take a while to come out of anesthesia completely. But he wasn't. I think being stepped on and having to see a vet is enough to cause any bird to feel out of sorts for a while.

It sounds like he's probably stressed from the whole experience, it's good that you took him to a vet straight away! Have you got any pictures of him, we'd love to see him!
