I know we're a broken record, but instead of just repeating "look into emergency vets," I wanted to add some context: If your bird has a brain or spinal cord injury, there may be dangerous swelling in the nervous system. The extent to which that swelling can be controlled early on will determine whether or not your bird will have permanent damage. If at all possible, she needs to be at a vet receiving anti-inflammatories and supportive care like fluids. She also may be at risk of seizures if there is swelling in her brain. If she has a seizure, it would be best for that to happen at the vet, where they can stop it immediately with medication. In the meantime, definitely keep her quiet and in an environment where she can't hurt herself again. If you post a general area where you are, we may be able to help with emergency vets.
So yesterday my lovebird bit my sister really hard, and out of reflex my sister shook her off and she crashed into the wall. She became paralyzed for a good 5 minutes and would not move. She eventually started getting better but her behavior since then is odd. She’s showing signs of a concussion: Having loss of appetite, very sleepy, uncoordinated flight, has little energy, etc. She also has this red spot on her beak and I think it might be the point of impact where she hit the wall. I’ll upload a picture soon. I am one hundred percent taking her to the vet soon but since it is Memorial Day I may not be able to take her for another day or two. Any advice on what she might have and how to take care of her until she can go to the vet?
