He lost balance and dropped to the floor because he's not flighted yet. My new puppy got a hold of him right away in his mouth and now he has a redness wound on his back. Just some lost feathers. I'm glad there's no other damage. There's no vets available until tomorrow morning at 8:30. He seems fine, not panting or anything. Just quietly resting on his perch again. Please pray that he'll last overnight till his appointment tomorrow :(

I am worried sick right now and there's nothing I can do except to take a vacation day tomorrow at work too.

Relax...........

Hi, sorry Scrappy has a wound. If it is a puncture would of any type he is going to need an antibiotic, (Clavamox), is the antibiotic of choice for a pasteurella infection. Part the feathers and take a close look! There is only a short window between the time a bird is bitten and when antibiotics are mandatory.

Please keep us posted.
