He has been sitting like this all weekend - my heart is broken at the moment, every time I look at him I get tears in my eyes. :dbb1: Link to comment

It would help the pain possibly and the tendency to wanting to curl. You can put a soft cloth on the floor but just make sure his toenails don't get stuck. Link to comment
Guest Phoebe Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 You could also put in one flat perch closer to the cage floor for now. (made a couple for my tiel without hardly any toes, just go to a lumber place). Then he would feel he was perching and not on the floor and might be a bit more comfortable. Link to comment

At least the normal vet who I spoke to has given me some more pain medication for him, I am going home in my lunch break to give it to him... Oh I took out all perches and just had him on the soft bottom, but his foot was curled under him and it appeared to be putting pressure on his actual leg, not wanting to cause him any more pain I put in a wide rope perch, so it is only slighly curved, but his broken leg wont even go onto the perch, he dangles it beside him either in front or beside the perch... He is still using anything he can to hold on with his beak, he looks so sad - at least I saw him eating today, he only ate once yesterday, late in the afternoon, I was starting to think I would have to hand feed him something if he didn't start eating soon... Do you think I should give him something else to give him some more energy, or leave him be so that he can concerntrate on being still and not aggrevating it too much??? What should I give him if so... Edited November 6, 2006 by Riebie Link to comment

He is even gripping the perch slightly, so I think this time it should stay in place! The vet said his leg might heal slightly crooked, but it shouldn't affect him too much cause he is such a little bird He is starting to eat more, drink and talk again too! Link to comment
Guest candacelast Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 very happy for you and bobby, what a little trooper Link to comment
Guest Phoebe Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 :budgiedance: That's great news Reibie! And it doesn't matter if Bobby's leg doesn't heal exactly in proper position, it would be a problem if he were a woodpecker but he's a super budgie so he will adapt just fine. Glad he's doing well.

I think he will regain full use of his leg again Link to comment
