Ok, thank you.It actually doesn't matter, from my research. It's a myth that unfortunately started when someone on here had a bird attacked and badly wounded (lost a leg, I think) the member used pain relief neosporin but the bird died. It very likely diet of shock and blood loss.
Now, birds are more sensitive to being put under for surgery but most topical pain relievers won't even bother them, in fact they have a higher resistance to lidocaine than we do.
But since the non pain relieving ointment is easier to get, that's fine since she's not in pain. I'd pick the non pain relieving kind anyway.
