Good evening, guys.
About 20 minutes ago, Tully was just sat on her cage door, singing away, She then tried to fly over to me and crash landed on the floor.
I immediately rushed over to her to see how she is and she cannot put any weight on her right leg. I must stress she's not in any pain, she's not bothered by it at all. She's sat with me now having cuddles, having a preen but I've given her leg a thorough examination and there is no brusing, she hasn't screeched at all in pain but it's just very limp. She wants to use it but she's struggling to grip anything and is putting all her weight on the other leg.
She can move around but as you can imagine, she's hobbling, not walking as she usually would. I've lowered all perches and food bowls in her cage incase she struggles, I've also put a soft towel in the bottom incase she loses her grip. Upon reading about it, it does seem like she's sprained it, not broken it.
My main problem is my local avian vet has recently closed down and the next closet one is in the next city which is miles away so taking her there is going to be extremely difficult.
Any advice/ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you.
