My budgie was bitten by a dog a while ago. I wasn't able to do anything but other people called 2 vets they said it was okay. His/her feathers are ruffled and hang out at the bottom of his/her cage, closes eyes all the time, also won't fly and when he/her does she/he runs into a wall. She/he doesn't look to good

I just joined this forum so if i don't answer just assume i got it

Thanks

By a while ago, how long ago would that be? You called the vets but did you ever take the budgie to the vet? Please do that. Sitting on the bottom with ruffled feathers and having difficult flying are not good things. Is he eating and/or drinking? Get him to the vet ASAP. If you need a recommendation then post your approximate location here and maybe someone will have a suggestion or do a search here:

How long is "a while ago"? Has your budgie been behaving this way since? Have they seen a vet, or did you just call?

Your budgie needs to see a vet immediately. The symptoms they are showing are very alarming.

Maybe the administrator can move this thread to 911 emergency.
