Will she be OK? 😰

[BirdyBee]

I'm stressed out right now and I feel so stupid and guilty..
Here's what happened: Jeff, John and Griff flew to the bathroom.

I went and chased them away, just to feel something under my toes, and I heard a screech: I stepped on Sunny!!
I immediately lifted up my foot in reflex and picked her up. I didn't really step very hard on her but I still stepped on her!

Physically she looks fine, but she was so stressed. My mom thinks she looks fine just because she can fly perfectly fine and she thinks a vet is unnecessary(by "she can fly perfectly fine", I mean she can fly as she always does, but she's never been a good flyer), but I know budgies are very sensitive and my biggest concern is broken bones...

What are some signs to look out for? What should I do? I know you guys aren't vets.. Should I move her to another cage to observe her closely?

Edit: she seems a bit better now, she's preening herself but I'm still concerned..

 

[Rozalka]

I'm a bit like your mom - if everything is fine, I don't think the vet is necessary

 

[BirdyBee]

Ok, thank you. I'll still keep an eye on her, she's probably so traumatized now I gave her a whole millet spray after that, poor girl!

 

[Rozalka]

I know what you feel. Once time accidentally I kicked Szafirek during walking and then I was apologizing him half day
I hope Sunny will be ok

I don’t think you should stress her out even more with the vet, but keep an eye on her and give her lots of treats so she knows you’re sorry

 

[BirdyBee]

She still treats me as usual even after the incident Still kind (but fearful) as usual

 

[Cottonoid]

I'm glad she is doing ok

Big hugs to you, that's traumatizing for you too!

Pip I'm so sorry to read about your accident with Sunny, but pleased to know she seems to be doing ok How is she doing now? I would try to keep her caged for a bit, she may not have broken anything but she may have been bruised a little. Sending love and hugs to you both, Pip, I know that you will give that little sweetheart all the treats she wants while she recovers

 

[Flboy]

You dodged a bullet!
A much too common accident!

 

[BirdyBee]

Thank you everyone for your replies, she seems much better now, she's preening herself now and had a millet spray earlier and she seems to be back to her normal self now and eating fine.

In reply to @Flboy, Yes, I am glad I didn't kill her, so many people have stepped on their birds and killed them I've got lucky this time..



Praying that she'll be fine!

oh, I just saw her doing the happy "Tail shake"! Yay!

 

[LaManuka]

YAY, I love happy tail shakes! Hoping Sunny is back to her usual self very soon

 

[Scott]

Seems a most fortunate save! Thanks for sharing Sunny's story as reminder to all!!

 

[Zoruace]

oh no i hope sunny will be alright
i agree with fox taking her to the vet might stress her out more just keep an eye on her

 

[BirdyBee]

Thanks to everyone for your concern and kind replies, she is much better now, eating, drinking, playing etc!

 

[LaManuka]

Thanks for updating us, Pip, wonderful news! Must be an enormous relief for you too

 

[BirdyBee]

Oh yeah I'm so relieved!
