I’ve ready scheduled a vet appointment but I’m posting here because honestly, I’m scared.

I noticed last night that Lexa’s left wing is hanging significantly lower than her right wing. I have no idea why. She is still flying around like normal, although her ā€˜normal’ is less than average in my opinion. She doesn’t fly much, to be honest. But during our flight training, she’s flying pretty much as usual. Maybe a little less confident?

The weirdest thing is that she doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort at all. She allows me to touch the wing an inspect it with no problems.

I’m concerned though because she got one of her wings stuck in the bars of her cage a few months ago during a night fright, and I’m thinking it might’ve possibly hurt her. At the time, she was still flying fine just after and didn’t seem to be in any pain so I didn’t think anything of it. I didn’t notice any irregularities with her wing until last night. I feel absolutely horrible. Have any of you had an issue like this???

UPDATE:

She just tried to fly to my shoulder but couldn’t get much higher than my hip. I’m really worried now.
