Broken wing, Please give advice.

[WVstruttin]

Went out this morn to let birds out and found my self blue tom turkey had broken his wing somehow. I checked it out and it is a clean break. I tried putting a sling on it , took a small t-shirt and put over him to hold the wing in place which worked but he cant balance with it on. He runs into things and winds on his back and cant get back up. He doesnt seem to be in any pain but I dont know what else to do. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated/ Also would it heal if I just leave it alone?

As long as the skin is not broken and bone is not exposed, I think that it could heal on it's own with time. It might heal crooked and would not be very functional though. You can give him aspirin for pain, I'm not sure of the dosing. And a "cast" or "sling" to hold it still, maybe a roll or two of vetwrap around the body. His balance issue will likely resolve itself if it's just related to the wing injury, I would put him alone in a smallish enclosure with thick bedding, so he can lay down and still reach food and water, and not have to walk around so much.
