Concussed conure

[Apes]

Today around 5:30 my little lad Castiel chased after my son as he left the room and hit the glass door (swung towards him)

Cass his this door from time to time but usually. Fine. Today he really wernt. He just flapped and rolled around and is coupled him up and spoke to him stroked him and tried to calm him down, he wernt putting any weight on his feet or grabbing me with them. He just wanted to climb to my shoulders.

I frantically phones vets all over London. There are basically no bird specialists on duty on Mondays it seems. I finally found one closing at 6:30 I was 10 mins late but the still saw him.

Nothing broken and gripping a little better. A shot of steroids and antibiotics and £98 (£60 just to looks at him for 20 minuets) I have some more antibiotics and steroids to give him for the next week.
He's now eating and drinking, still no walking well and most def no flight. I've out him in a travel cage with food and water and a warm blanket.

He's now hopping around looking sore but doing little chirps. And 'kissy sounds' when I say kisses. I hope he's going to be fine

I am so sorry to hear what happened to Castiel! It is great that you were able to get him to the vet, though, and I will pray that he will be okay. Please let us know how he is doing.

Ow! I'm sorry I hope he is okay. My cockatiel Rukia flew full tilt into a glass door one day and left a birdie dust print on the door. We were on vacation in Tennessee in the mountains! Luckily she bounced back right away and was completely fine the next day! Hopefully yours is the same way

We're still hobbling around the floor and hunched over, but it's not been 24 hours yet, eating and drinking, but no poops yet. Usually he's a poop machine.

He dose have medicine for a week though. poor baby.

 

[Terry57]

Bless his heart Has he not pooped at all yet?

 

[Apes]

He absolutely exploded with a poop about an hour ago.

Been just over a week now, castiel did a little flying today. No lift just descending. A few days before flying like a rock. No chatting, no tricks, just kissy sounds.

One of the things I did was collapse his cage to half it's size (it was flat packed) and leaved a ladder against it and got him to climb everyday. About 3 days ago I put his cozy hut back in (had him on a towel on the floor) and he climbs to get into it now. Slowly getting there. ;.;

So glad to hear an update on Castiel!
I am glad to hear he is doing better now and making some progress.
I also wanted to mention how much I love his name! Is he named after the character on Supernatural?

 

[crimson]

wow, it sounds like he did more damage that first thought...poor thing.
I am glad to hear he is improving slowly.
It must have been quite nerve wracking for you!

 

[Apes]

Yeah he's named after the character in supernatural.

Def had a big knock.

 

[Terry57]

How is he feeling today?
My 2 Bourkes would love him, they are named Sam & Dean
