Some type of wound on Elvis

[sunnysmom]

Just saw this on Elvis. Is it a cut? He's being his normal crazy self. Should I do anything? Worried bird momma....

Oh gosh, I'll let the experts take a look. I hope it's nothing serious Michelle.

looks like an owee to me. Like he bumped it. Keep an eye on it.

Aw, poor birdie! I hope it’s nothing and will go away on its own. I’m so worried right now that my pets will get sick and won’t be able to see a vet. Murphy’s Law, right?!

Can u send the pic to your vet and see what they say. To me, it looks like he scratched it

 

[sunnysmom]

Thanks. I think it's a cut or small puncture wound. At least I hope that's all it is. He, of course, won't hold still for me to get a good look. I will see if I can send a pic to the vet.

Oooo ouch! Yea I'd say he smack himself there.
Pierre had one above his nostril, it bled a little bit cleared up in a couple days. Keep an eye on it for swelling or possible infection. Other than that, it should heal pretty good on its own.

Vet is not going to do anything except maybe clean it. You can do that too. Yes he gave himself a shiner somehow. It will scab over.

Wait and watch

Is a good size bruise, he will be fine in a few days and you won't even notice it. A vet visit isn't warranted, they'll just look at it dab it a bit and send you on your way.

Exactly.

 

[sunnysmom]

It looks a little better today. I'll continue to keep an eye on it. He just plays so hard. I'm assuming he smacked into something....

Glad it´s looking better already
