Luna is injured— graphic photo—

[texsize]

When I uncovered and woke up the Twins I found Luna bleeding from one of her nares.
It looks like it had just started as the blood had not gotten to the bottom of her beak.
Seems like it could be.
Merlin over grooming her and injured by accident.
Luna did it to herself scratch with her toe claws or rubbing against something.
Internal bleeding, broken blood vessel.

The last is most scary but least likely (IMHO) as blood would be on both nares or so it seems to me.
Waiting for vet to open in about 1/2 hour see if I can take her in.

So sorry you are having a bad run.
Hope she is ok

Awwwwwww poor Luna, and poor you, Wes! I also think the last of your possible scenarios is the least likely, but hope you can get her sorted soon!

Blood can look so scary but it isn't always serious. Luna doesn't look too upset about it. Hopefully she just picked her nose too hard and bled a bit. I've seen birds with a claw up their nose before so they definitely can pick their noses.

She had a second run of bleeding, small amount coming from other side too.
Going to keep her caged and grounded.
Pumping up her B.P. With flying seems…..
Unwise.

I tried separating The Twins just in case Merlin was causing it but both birds unhappy with that.

My CAV not in till Monday.
My alternative exotic vet is also not in till Monday.
All my calls came to nothing.

I don’t know why this always happens on weekends.

It ALWAYS happens on weekends! Hang in there, Luna, please!

How's the humidity in your home? Dry weather and allergies started causing nosebleeds for me a couple years ago. Prior to that I had never had a nosebleed before. Hopefully is something similarly benign for Luna
