Not sure what to tell you about the swelling . pictures will help there is an emergency thread but I've not used it . so can't tell how to get there but someone will tell you how . keep a close eye on it . have you checked for injury . a small cut can get infected and become a big problem. look for that. good luck with her

thanks i hope its something easy to treat - i just noticed it as i was locking them up she was on her perch and wouldnt let me go near it so thought id get a better look tomorrow when i have someone to hold her and i can get pics ( if she will let me lol ) its right on her spur looks like its just about covering it :-( x

If you have need of it it's "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread on BYC. Put that in the search box and it will come up.
