I dont think there was a scratch.my bird is currently fine with no symptoms but id like to still check with a vet i they'd need antibiotics.i cant at this moment because there are curently closed.ive also called them to check but they didnt respond.theyll be open this monday at probably 10am. is the infection going to be directly fatal? is there a way to prevent their infection?

i honestly dont know what urgent care works.how do i find urgent care and call?
An emergency vet- most vet clinics have a recording with information on the nearest open emergency vets for their phones when they’re closed.
Call your regular vet and see if they have an after hours number listed for you to call. If they dont then just call every other vet you can find and one of them will give details on where your closest emergency vets are
