Salty fell off his chain that hangs from the ceiling, and apparently hit his head on the way down. This was around 3 or so. When I got home at 6 , Geri had put him back into his cage for awhile already. My clue that something was really wrong was that he wouldn't take his 'hello' pine nut, nor a crumbled up one. He just wouldn't open his beak to take it. I called our vet, an avian certified one and they took him on an emergency basis (I love her and they love Salty there) . ER exam showed no broken bones, no cuts or bleeding but a bump just past his nares. Salty was sleepy both home and at the dr's, which is also highly unusual. So I asked the doc what would she do, she said let us keep him overnight, xray him, give him some pain meds, some steroid to get any swelling down, some food in him and observe him overnight. So that's where he is. Honestly both Geri and I are a mess right now. Please ,any prayers, good thoughts from our friends here on the forum for our Salty boy will be really appreciated . Can't type more, my eyes are leaking too much.
