Has the blood clotted or is it still leaking?
Here it is currently.I am not sure what time it is there but can you call a vet? You will be best to see one anyway to remove the shaft.
I don't really have anything like that.It does not look to be leaking and wetting the area around it. Do you have a big enough box or tub to put her in? Somewhere to keep her quiet and where she can not get that caught on bars or anything?
She's tiredIf the blood starts leaking again then you need to stop it but if it is not leaking then just keep her energy levels low till you can call the vet for further instructions.
I'll watch her.yeah that sounds great. As long as you keep her quiet it will help the clotting.
I'll call at 7 when they openHopefully you can call the vet soon and see what they think.
Do I need to stay awake with her? Can she go back into her bed to sleep or should I just watch her?No need to be sorry!! You did good
The vet may be ok with you sending some pics in for them to look at so maybe ask about that before just making an appointment?
Try to get some rest while she is happy being calm and quiet so you are not so worn out for the day. It is a bummer we can not all be closer to the vets for our birds, My trip is a bit longer so I totally understand.
You are more than welcome for the help
Keep me updated how all goes for you both today.
She's pretty awake and won't stop messing with the feathers.How awake is she? If you make it dark will she go back to sleep or is she up for the day?
I just have her on my bed with me right now and she is just preening a bunchHow awake is she? If you make it dark will she go back to sleep or is she up for the day?
Terrific...How awake is she? If you make it dark will she go back to sleep or is she up for the day?
Since it is small and close to the skin, is it possible to pull it out ?If you can get her to go back to sleep that would be good as she will be leaving that feather shaft alone.
