Urgent Its not urgent but Rileys back in her hospital cage

[Robyn]

While I had Riley out today she flew over to me and I noticed on her tail was a dark spot so I immediately toweled her and noticed that dark spot was dried blood so i get wash cloth and wet it and start wiping her tail because the blood is close to her vent and I needed to be sure it wasn't coming from her vent. While doing this I started checking her cage to see if there are any bloody stools thankfully there wasn't but there was blood on her food dish and the cup I have under the water bottle and a spot on her happy hut while wiping the dried blood I accidently reopened the wound which is NOT in the vent thank god so I put her in her hospital cage with no perches and will be calling the vet tomorrow as its Sunday and they aren't open. I have a feeling she did this after a fall while I was gone because she's been falling an awful lot off her perches since I took her in to get her nails trimmed last week. I know its not a blood feather because there's no blood on her play stand (she spent an hour or so on the white lined bottom so it would have been very obvious)

Did you get the bleeding to stop? Hope everything checks out well tomorrow.

Wow that must have been scary. Hope all goes well and that you are able to figure out what happened! Is it possible she could have cut herself on something?

 

[Robyn]

It wasn't bleeding real bad but I did make sure to slow it way down before putting her in there I haven't seen any more blood but I have been keeping an eye on her. She stopped hissing at me which is always good.

I'm thinking she cut herself during a fall because as I said she's had trouble perching since she had her nails trimmed and the girl who did it even said afterwards it was her first time. and with how big her cage is its possible that she did cut herself that way. What was scarier than seeing the dried blood was seeing a big red spot on the bottom of her cage and thinking she had a giant bloody stool turned out to be one of her dark red translucent beads.

 

[Robyn]

OK I just check where she has been sitting since I put her in there and no blood so that's good

 

[Crazy4parrots]

Any updates?

 

[rockybird]

Poor baby. How is she doing?

 

[Robyn]

She is doing just fine no more blood. I think I will keep her in her hospital cage for a couple more weeks just to be safe. She is still acting completely normal so that's good
