| Quaker w/ hurt toe - CLICK HERE for the Pet Manual Forum Home Page |
| Cindy Eddy |
Some of you may remember my post a while back asking if it was ok to have
Quakers and Budgies together. Numerous responses stated that I could quite
possibly end up w/Budgies getting their toes bitten off. Well, I have taken
every precaution to prevent that and have had no problems thus far.
Ironically, I came home from work yesterday to find my Quaker with a bloody
toe. Apparently he got his toe hung in his door while trying to find a way
out. I'm not sure if he pulled the claw out or chewed it off to get free but
it was still hung where he got stuck. He seems to be doing fine though. He
stands on the foot as though it doesn't hurt and he only bled a very small
amount. My concern is that he won't quit chewing on the toe. I'm afraid that
since it's not completely healed yet he could cause it to get infected. Does
anyone have any suggestions on how to get him to leave it alone. Thanks in
advance.

The obvious answer is an avian Vet.
As to keeping the bird from the bandages the Vet will put on the toe it's
hard to do. You would have to be able to have someone be with the bird all
day. I had a Macaw once that had several surgeries on one foot. We were
lucky as we worked different shifts so one of us could be home. The bird
needed to be constantly reminded to leave the dressing alone. I guess they
maybe could use one of those collars like they use on dogs and cats, but I
would be very afraid to leave a bird alone with one of those on.

He's not doing fine. He's in pain, and trying to rid himself of the
pain. He can't tell you he's hurting. Please....get him some
professional help. Poor little thing.

enough to fit him in any sooner.

You haven't had him long and already he has hurt himself in your care. Top
that with posting here instead of getting immediate vet attention and what
does it say?

He hurt HIMSELF. There is no negligence.

She called the vet. The vet decided it was not an emergency. You don't
know the actual extent of the injury or anything about her vet, so making
any valid judgment calls on the situation is not within your capabilities.

ummmmm..if you had read the previous posts, you would have seen that we had
an appointment today. The vet said that it was very minor and there wasn't
anything she could do other than wrap it. So far he has left it alone. He
stopped bothering it last night so the vet said that as long as he doesn't
chew on it any more, it should heal up just fine in a few days. Not much I
can do now other than keep an extra close eye on him and make sure he leaves
it alone.

Wow. I guess the original poster was at fault then. The logical extension of
your comment is that the OP shouldn't have been made.

Glad to hear, and good luck. It can be a pain trying to keep a bandage on a
birds foot. Can't really blame the bird, to them it's something to be
removed. The one time with my Macaw he had it off in the time it took the
Doctor to come out and tell us he was ready to go and fill out the papers.
She went back just in time to see him pulling it off, had to wrap it all
over. <G>

You have poor logic skills.
What do judgement calls have to do with asking for advice on keeping a bird
from picking at a sore toe?

Can't even follow the context of a simple thread. What a sad, pathetic
simpleton.

The one thing that I haven't seen addressed in this thread is, how to prevent
this from happening again. Maybe you should contact the manufacturer of the
cage, or the place you purchased it, and try to get a replacement.

That's a VERY good point I had not even thought of, and you're right it
should have been the first thing we talked about.
Cindy I do hope you are going to either fix whatever allowed this to
happen or replace the cage. Birds can find the most un thought of ways to
get "caught" in things. Takes constant vigil to watch for problems.

I was already thinking about buying him a new cage before this happened. I
now plan to do so within the next day or so. Thanks for the advice though.

Sounds like a great idea. When you get it he "may" act a little afraid of
it. Birds are all different. One of mine (BCC) is scared to death of
anything "new". If I make some new stand or whatever he takes days to trust
it. The Tiel and Macaw see anything new as something to be investigated <G>.
