    Dislocated wing?

    I'm so sorry. Sometimes, despite all efforts, we just can't save them. I hope you find out what's been going on with her. :hugs

    Dislocated wing?

    I just give them the whole pill, you aren't going to overdose on those. If it's a deficiency then it often takes pretty high amounts to get it reversed, then they are able to maintain it after that. Fingers crossed, it helps. You might want to try putting her in a sling for periods during the...

    Dislocated wing?

    I'm so sorry. :( Yes, they can sometimes be awful to each other. I've no idea what kind of set up you have or options, and winter does make it more challenging. I have multiple dog crates I use as needed, both wire ones and the plastic airliner ones. I pick them up at yard sales and have...

    Dislocated wing?

    I will attach a link that may be helpful, it tells how to examine for a fracture and how to splint various kinds, the illustrations are songbirds, but the anatomy is the same. That is the best we can do without xrays.
