Question:My budy sits on her stick thing with his head hanging down and has a bad foot. whats wrong with him? someone said if i take him to the vet they will break her neck so I am not going
but anyone know anything about budys
Answers:
Sorry to hear about your Budy. Will he eat,will he drink, what Color is his poop(sorry had to ask it IS important)? will he put any weight on the injured foot? Is he bleeding?
I had a Budgie that a cat ,somehow through the cage literally SNAPPED his wing right off!! I would not have known had I not seen the blood and my Baby was somewhat lethargic. I immediately diluted some peroxide and cleansed the wound then applied neosporin for a few days. He recovered Beautifully and lived minus a wing, for 12 years! I hope this helps you...P.S. If the "injury" is only prominent on the foot, ie;No swelling up the leg or elsewhere, amputation of the affected foot may well be a solution. Don't give up!
Go to the vet. They will not just break your poor bird's neck without trying to find out what is wrong.
If you take the bird to the vet they will not break her neck. Whoever told you that is extremely missinformed. I've taken my budgies to the vet and they've always been perfectly fine.
You stated that the budgie has a bad foot - that may be what is wrong with him. What does the foot look like? If it looks broken call a vet and see if there is anything they can do for it. Make sure there is no open wound that may need antibiotics to keep it from getting infected.
Is he eating or drinking? If not, there may be more wrong with him and you will have to take him to a vet or just watch him die.
Budgies are very sensitive to illness and if not treated immediately can die quickly.
Good luck!
go to the vet. they wont kill it if you dont want them to. but, they might not be able to help, and if the bird is in pain, its the best thing to do. when small animals like birds or rodents get sick, there is not much u can do. everything has to die sometime.
Make sure it is in a warm location. Birds need to be kept warm in order to heal themselves. NOT hot, just warm.
Make sure that there is food and water within its reach.
If his foot is hurt, you may want to remove the perch so that he sits on the bottom of the cage. This will be easier for him to balance. If he hangs to the side of the cage instead of sitting on the bottom, put the perch back in.
The person that told you that if you take your budgie to the vet, they will break her neck there wrong. When I had my budgie mine had the same problem as yours so I took it to the vet and they didn't cut her neck off. I don't remember what they did cause it was a few years ago though. Just to let you know I have had 3 birds once.
Whoever told you that is rather silly. It could be a number of things.Take your bird to the vet,early treatment is vital if you want to secure your birds health.
The vet will euthanize him if he is not well. Please go to the vet post-haste, don't let it hurt any longer.
