Question
our little cockatiel had a recent mishap we both woke in the morning and found that our cocktaiel was laying on the bottom of the cage and was still moving but was limping found that one of her foots or claw is bent we got xrays and found the bones are ok but could possiblty nerve damage will she ever recover with full mobility we are feeding her baby food becuse she has hard time getting to the food bowl and drinking water. She is still active is it possible she had a seizure what would be the treatment a splint of something or do we let it heal on its own
Hello Ken and Holly.
If you took her to the vet I would hope the vet would have told you everything you need to do. I am not able to give you any information on whether or not she had a seizure, I cant see her physicly. I dont think you can do much for a leg that wont move. Call the vet and ask. They should know.

I can answer questions on breeding, illness, housing, diet, color mutations, genetics, and many others. I find budgies to be one of the most wonderful bird species to own as a pet. If I do not know the answer to you question, which is indeed a rare event, I will do my best to research and find the best answer to your question. I have dedicated my life to budgies and now I'm prepared to give back and help the community with their budgies as well. These birds are so wonderful there is an endless amount of information to know about them. I learn new things from budgies every day that I spend with them. If you have a question, please do not hesitate to ask. You will not be disappointed with the feedback.
