Num Num's wire has broken

[crimson]

I didn't think it was going to happen this soon
the other day I noticed Num Nums beak looked different, his wire has now broken which was holding his beak together.
it just wiggles like a loose tooth when he climbs, fluctuating in and out as he uses it....it really makes my skin crawl......eeeeshhhh!

but on a good note, he doesn't seem the least bit bothered by it moving back and forth. He is eating and drinking normally just like always. I had him out today and he looks even better than last time

In two weeks he needs to see Evan again for another re-check.

I contacted Evan, sent him a photo of Num Nums beak and broken wire, and he did recommend that if he becomes lethargic, or withdrawn, to bring him back in

here is a picture of his broken wire that was taken a few days ago, and a picture today happy as a clam

Poor Num Num. At least it isn't bothering him. Keep us posted!

As long as he's doing fine everything would be all right!!!!

Poor thing! I am glad he is not in pain and is able to eat and drink! Please keep us posted... I think of y'all often.

He looks unperturbed by the whole thing lol and a little badass with his beak-ring.

Awwww Little Num Num you are such a fighter, what a good boy, been through so much and he is still happy as can be!

Glad he is eating and drinking! Fingers crossed he stays that way!

Did the vet say that the wire would eventually break?

My horse got plaster wraps on his hooves and were meant to last 3 weeks then fall off.... And they lasted 4 days -_-

Is it healed up underneath and its just cosmetic? What a little trooper, you should be proud of him.

 

[MissTaz]

What a little stud! You have such a strong baby. I'm so glad he is doing so good.

The only other option might be to use dental plaster to keep his beak together but he seems to be doing pretty well!
