My bird got his interramal space punctured by his toyās clip where it holds the toy to the cage. This is hard to explain in words so iāll attach a photo but itās not pleasing to see.
heās eating, drinking normally and still makes noises fine but he looks extremely scared/stressed (obviously). There was a bit of blood but it stopped fast. Heās with a friend rn since iām on a trip so Iām not there to take him to the vet. My friend is currently contacting the vet via email since she needs to attach photos.
Iāve NEVER had this happen with any birds in the past and only saw a post like this on a different forum ONCE. Although itās rare for this to happen, to prevent it from happening, (if you have birds who can unscrew the little metal) pls replace with twine or treated leather strips (do not use string because it can get stuck in their intestines)
Heās an eclectus so his size is pretty big and it still somehow fit. For smaller birds the puncture will be worse pls remove JUST in case!!!!!!!!
Has anyone else had this happen? I think the only thing the vet can really do for him is give him antibiotics which I canāt get at the moment. Any advice on what my friend could apply to his gap in the meantime?
Thank u for reading.
