Num Num had his re-check this morning with Evan, at the avian vets.
His beak has not mended one bit, it's entirely split vertically and separated now.
the only thing holding it together are the wires.
It's incredibly loose at the bottom on both sides of the break, where the dead tissue remains.
Evan was really hoping that it would have begun to mend, but he did warn me two weeks ago he thought it would be doubtful due to the amount of dead tissue that had already formed right after the break occurred.
Evan is not sure if there is live tissue below the dead tissue, and as Num Nums beak grows up and outwards, it will repair itself.
It's like when you damage your nail, right at the bottom of your cuticle, it turns black and blue. but as your nail grows the damaged part of the nail moves up and up, and new tissue begins to grow.
Num Num has a re-check in another month and Evan will know more then on what course of action to take. At this point he is uncertain how this is going to turn out for Num Num. He did mention this will take months and months even before we can do anything at this point.
Certainly not the news I was hoping for.
I sure hope everyone who has chains on their toys have wrapped them up with vet wrap, or replaced them with safe rope for birds.
