Hi everyone,
One of my aviary budgies, Sunshine, has been holding her right wing funny for the past couple of days. Since she was (and still is) flying okay, I thought maybe it was just a minor injury. However, since I havenāt seen any improvement, I am so anxious about her now. I caught her and set her up in a separate cage. I made an appointment at the vet for 3pm this afternoon (itās nearly 12pm here right now). Would it be a broken wing if she is flying okay? If so is there any way to treat a broken wing?
Should I have left her in the cage in the aviary where she can hear her friends? I am concerned about her being confused and scared. But I am also not keen on moving a heavy cage all the way into the aviary again. I will be moving her outside onto our patio so she can hear them, itās a nice warm day so she think being outside will make her more comfortable.
She had normal poop but since I caught her (Iām sure it was a bit of a shock) she has a little bit of watery poop. Is this from stress? Clean vent, was active and eating when in the aviary. She hasnāt moved an inch since I moved her to this cage. I am so concerned that this stress will be detrimental to her overall health.
Should she be set up in a smaller hospital cage while her wing heals? I usually set my birds up in one when they are sick.
Iām just so, so anxious. [emoji20]
So, in sum, let me repeat my questions:
1) would it be a broken wing if she is flying okay?
2) if so, is there any way to treat a broken wing?
3) should I have left her in the cage in the aviary so that she can hear and be around her friends?
4) is her poop watery as a result of the stress of being caught? Since her poop was normal in the aviary and she was eating fine.
5) should I set her up in a smaller hospital cage while her wing heals?
Thank you. Here are a few pictures of her wing[emoji20]
