Hello,
we have a 4 year old green cheek. On wed night I made a very dumb mistake and turned off the bathroom light and started closing it from the outside while she was sitting on the top of the door
. That's a common sitting area for her but I totally did not see her. I heard her make a loud noise and also felt the door hit something and possibly even jamming her between the door frame and door. She did fly out immediately and was very shoot up and when I put her on my finger and placed her in her cage she went into her little bird hut (she never goes in during wake hours) and pressed up against the left side with her eyes closed. It was late in the evening and we were very worried (I felt so terrible about the accident) , she would open her eyes when we looked into the hut but she stayed there for a while. After she came out I just held her on my chest where she seemed comfortable. she wasn't making any sounds for the rest of the night. Put her back in the cage for night to rest, next morning she comes out of her hut but she's not making much noise. She seemed very low energy but she would eat and drink water.
Day 2 morning, she's making more noises now and still eating and drinking and also flying but flying lower. When I hold her and check her wings she doesn't seem like she's hurting or wincing when I touch her. On Day 1 morning I tried to use my finger to put her on the places I know she wanted to be so that she was conserving energy. On Day 2 she was climbing around her cage , but seemed a little slower. Evening day 2 she's acting more like herself, doing her preening and grooming, etc. But i can tell she's falling asleep earlier than usual as if she's really tired. We put her to sleep early and tried to keep the room warmer etc.
Day 3 she's definitely more vocal and 'normal' but definitely little lethargic. She makes more noises in the morning, also makes loud noises when someone is at the front door (though not as long in duration). She's not flying around as much at all so I know something is off - but she's eating and drinking as normal, just a little lethargic and looks like she takes more naps. For example, just now she tried to fly up to the top of the tv from the couch but looks like she instead landed on the tv console - so she has trouble flying for sure.
I am going to measure her weight today and take her to the vet as soon as I have a day off, in meantime is there anything else I could be checking for? She looks fine from the outside and no issues with her claws or with walking for sure.
Thanks for the help and apologies this was so long!!
