hi all. i recently got my green cheek conure baby about a week ago. he was attacked by my two year old pomsky this afternoon, at about 1:30pm. it is now 8:46pm.
the attack happened in the blink of an eye. i barely even saw it. everything was normal, i was waking him up and getting him out and placed him on my shoulder as i always do. i guess i didn’t shut the door all the way and the pup came in. he scared my bird and he flew, crash landed and was corned by the dog. he was screaming and lost a lot of tail feather (not all of them) and then flew to the other side of the room and crash landed again. i ushered him out of the room and into my room with his big cage. he was bleeding from his mouth and nose. he was breathing extremely heavily and making a “tck” sound. i didn’t see my dog bite him and there was no puncture wounds, just bleeding from nose and mouth.
after a little bit of time the bleeding stopped. he was lethargic but still aware. i called every vet office near me and none of them could take him, not even for emergency visits. one vet answered and suggested i keep him in the cage under supervision, so i did that.
after a bit of time he seemed okay. he was being a lot more clingy than usual and still is. his breathing seems to be normal and he did eat and drink a bit. he has pooped but it was yellow, not sure if that’s something to be worried about? he’s been keeping his eyes shut most of the day and sleeping. he did play with his toys for a little and i did catch him preening himself. he will still step up and fly. he’s just so clingy. not sure if that’s due to the trauma or not.
i’m having a lot of trouble with all of this and some advice would be greatly appreciated. i’m so scared for him. he’s my world and i love him so much. i’ll attach a picture of what he’s been looking like most of the day.
