Hi all!
My little Greencheek has had a rough couple of days and has received a pretty severe toe injury. I took him to the local vet when the injury first occurred, but they aren't avian specialists. They advised me to take him home and keep an eye on him, and take him to an avian vet hospital if things got worse.
While he's been getting progressively brighter and chirpier, he's now unfortunately lost the nail and is chewing on the toe. I suspect he's got a bit of infection as the foot is warm and a bit swollen. To make matters worse, there's been a severe flood and we won't be able to reach an avian vet at least until next week.
I'm going to put him on an antibiotic treatment (vetafarm triple C, I'm not sure I can get anything else at the moment), but is there anything else I can do? Especially to stop the chewing, it'd be great if I could get some advice on how to bandage the wound or something similar.
Cheers!
