My conure had a beak trim on Monday because of his overgrown beak, on Tuesday I realised one of his wing was hanging a little lower and he wasnt very energetic.
I examined him and there’s no external bruising or swelling that I can see. He lets me extend the injured wing and all. Also doesn’t seem to be in pain when I touch the wing. The only thing that feels a little asymmetrical is the bone around the shoulder but then again one wing is up and the other is hanging so I wasnt sure whether it’s the difference in the position.
He’s eating very well and returned to his normal routine after 1 day of lethargy but the wing is still drooping. He can flap the injured wing a little but rarely moves it.
my vet is only in office on Monday, just want to get some opinions whether this is more likely a sprain or a dislocation. I don’t feel any broken bones and there are no bones sticking through.
he’s also very young and has been through a lot (infections from the bird shop, medications for 2 months, overgrown beak etc etc). I’m wary about stressing him again with another vet visit with possible x-rays and more medications.
and it’s already past day 3, what are the odds that if it’s a dislocation the vet can treat it?
