Tips

[7v7kw]

My birds leg was cut yesterday and I really need some tips to make him more active because he looks kinda sad and he fears ppl so I really need tips to help with that and I also find it really difficult for me because I fear hurting him more so I avoid taking him and playing with him.

his leg was broken and when we went to the vet he told us that his leg is fully broken and that it will never heal and it’s better for him to cut it

Oh, so his leg was amputated? How long ago did this happen?

Yep, this happened yesterday

Well with that happening so recently, I’d disturb him as little as possible while he’s healing from his amputation.

Just give him whatever he’ll eat during this time and keep him nice and warm.

But i really don’t know what temp is considered warm to him + how many months does it take for him to fully heal?

I’m not sure how long it’ll take him to fully heal. What did the vet say about it?

I forgot to ask him..

I forgot to ask him..

Could you call the vet and ask maybe? They’d know what’s best for your bird since they’ve seen him in person.

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet, for a first or second opinion..
International contacts, too.
