Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has any input on my Frankie’s ankle. It’s been like this for a week. As far as I’m aware he didn’t injure it & it doesn’t seem to bother him when I give him a birdy foot massage with coconut oil. It’s odd because it’s not blistered even though it looks like that in the picture & there’s no broken skin, just some swelling & redness surrounding the white part. He’s eating/drinking/pooping/playing/other normal bird stuff, which is good.
I had been giving him baytril & metacam for the past week to no avail. I took him to the vet last night & he wasn’t sure what exactly was going on. We did a round of cold laser therapy & are going to wait on x-rays since he’ll have to be anesthetized & we didn’t want to stress him out more than what was necessary at the moment. It does look a little bit less angry this morning but just wanted to see if anyone has dealt with something like this before.
Thanks, guys!

ETA: He is a 10 year old Hahn’s. He had his leg band on the leg in question removed last year because it suddenly caused swelling to his leg & foot. The swelling from his band irritation looked a little different than his current issue & his foot itself is not swollen this time.
