help! I have two budgies. One (Spook) pecked at the other (Scully) and wounded her just below her left eye. The vet gave me two antibiotic serums to be administered twice a day for 10 day and a topical ointment to be applied every 8 hours. She is not hand trained yet so you can imagine the scene when i reach in for her. I end up chasing her around her cage until I catch her. We both hate this.This has been going on for three days. I can't subject her to this trauma for another week.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a less traumatizing way to do this? And how can I ever regain her trust after this.
