Post: Broken wing (humor bone)Posted by Marcos Gomez on 3/09/06
My 4 month old budge managed to break her wing when she got
stuck on my CD storage stack. Actually, I think it broke
when she panicked trying to unstick herself.
So I took her to the vet who kept her over night trying to
best find a taping that he would tolerate. He would not
accept the traditional taping of the wing to the body. So he
simply taped the wing shut. I have had to place him in a
very small cage with 2 perchs at ground level. He is
miserable because he is away from his mate who is in a
cockatiel cage alone waiting for his return. They are both
crying and screaming for each other periodicaly throughout
the day. And they are both angry at me for seperating them.
I feel horible.
It has been 3 days like this and I will have to wait 6 weeks
to see if this will work, but I don't know if I can keep
them seperated that long. It is not as if I can explain to
them that they need to have patience.
Anyone have any advise? Will the wing/humor bone repair?
Opinions welcome
Marcos
