Thanks everyone.
Yoshi's sleeping now. I'll give an update in the morning.

 

[Birdbabe]

Hoping Yoshi is ok.

 

[Poetic Ramblings]

He's about the same this morning. He's moving more, but still gingerly and still squawking in pain sometimes. I'm going to call the vet, at least for a consult.

Poor Yoshi! Yes, definitely needs to be seen by the vet

Shinda had these symptoms a few years ago, was very reluctant to put his right (I think!) leg down and was clearly in pain when he did.

I took him straight to the vet as soon as I noticed this. He was x-rayed and thankfully, found not to have any broken bones but the leg and foot were hot and slightly swollen. He has toes missing and the vet said he probably fell in the cage overnight. Gave him an anti-inflammatory/pain-killing injection plus further meds and a syringe to take home, and off we went.

Within a couple of days he was using it again as normal

Glad you are going to the vet You did everything right. Let us know. Good luck.

 

[Birdiemarie]

So sorry you don't see any improvement this morning. I agree, it's prudent to talk with your vet.

 

[Big Blues]

Please update us after you see the vet, healing prayers sweet Yoshi.

Sounds like he needs to see the vet

It turns out that I can't take him to the vet this weekend. I lack the transportation until Monday. He actually does seem to be doing a little better. He's picking things up with that leg and balancing on it and hopping around (his preferred mode of transportation). He only makes a little squawky sound when he stretches it too far. He's still eating, playing, talking basically his normal self besides being defensive of his leg.

He's been either sitting on people or his favorite spot on the top of the couch the whole day so hopefully that's a bit more comfortable. I could get someone to take us to the vet in an emergency, but for now it's a no go, unfortunately.

Yoshi's doing quite a bit better. He's complaining less and moving around more. He was climbing his cage bars and was hanging upside without a problem. He was acting up a little this evening and being more of his hyper self. He's still giving a little squawk sometimes though, so he's not 100 percent.

 

[Marlene]

Try to keep him warm and comfortable. I would try to keep him from doing "too much" so if he is hurt he can start to heal. Good luck, hope you can make it to the vet on Monday.

Hope he feels better soon!

 

[Cinnyluver]

I'm glad he's doing better. I hope he gets well soon.

 

[zoo mom]

Yoshi stop scaring us. Glad he is doing better. Try to keep him calm and less active.(Like that is possible with a Hahnsie). Keep us updated.

 

[Jeddy]

Sounds like he is on the mend.

 

[marian]

Just cayenne and water. It helped Hiram a couple weeks ago, when he hurt his beak.Makes some on a spoon and see if he'll take a few bites.

 

[Poetic Ramblings]

It is hard to keep a Hahnsie from being hyper. xD Basically, the only thing we could do was have him sit on people all weekend so at least we could watch him.
Yoshi did quite well today. He didn't squawk in pain once and he definitely had more energy. He was still a little slower than usual, so I don't think he's leg's quite right yet. He's moving around fine, no limp or anything, just not at his usual speed.

How is Yoshi doing today?
