Our buzzer went off and she panicked and bonked into our sliding glass door. So far she is acting totally normal, but has a tiny bald spot where I’m guessing she hit the window. There was a little puff of head feathers on the floor.
What should I look out for if she seriously hurt herself? Our vet is accepting emergency appointments only so I guess I need to establish that before I can call them.
Tried to get a picture of her little bald spot—thankfully no bleeding

How is she doing? Any changes in what you normally see in her?

I would guess if she's acting fine, she probably is fine. I would just monitor her the next 48 hours; if any changes in her behavior I'd contact your vet who would likely give you an anti-inflammatory.

Burt has had quite a few crashes in the past giving him bald patches and as long as he was behaving completely normal my vet said not to stress. Keep an eye on her for any changes in alertness and behaviour.

Me too!! She is 100% acting normal today which is a relief. Although she does look kind of funny with her little bald spot. :embarassed:
She's much too young to be having a receding feather line! :rofl:
