Ah thanks. I’ll look around. Also, I was looking at his wings today and under the little flap I saw the photo attached. This isn’t him losing feathers correct? This is him growing his feathers? I haven’t seen and of his feathers falling the past few days so I’m a bit worried.
It is hard to see in the photo, but it does look like his adult feathers growing in. You might see a small delay in the growth due to him not eating and drinking for a few days. It takes a lot of protein to grow in feathers, plus healing his injuries.
Ah thank you. I was worried for a second because it seemed so soft and brittle. He ate a decent amount of food today, almost 30ml in total. Not enough but we are starting to see more progress. I caught him drinking water on his own! He’s also noticing things more. He watches me whenever I’m moving.
. I’ve tried to get him to eat on his own but he doesn’t want to. Should I let him rest and wait or tube feed him? He seems very energetic today.
Right now mushed feed and rice+eggs blended together. I just filled up my bathtub and once he started kicking his feet a bit, his eyes instantly perked up and he’s diving everywhere now! His neck is fine, he can lift it straight up but chooses not to and I’m assuming that’s from shock.
I would just let him eat whatever he will. It's more important that he eats then torturing him to eat dry food.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I feed him mushed feed for breakfast and dinner but eggs and rice for lunch. He still hasn’t eaten anything yet. Just sleeping. But he’s been somewhat active today so let’s hope that he will eat lots tomorrowI would just let him eat whatever he will. It's more important that he eats then torturing him to eat dry food.
Oops. Edited to say that I misread your post. Maybe try just his feed then?
Yay for bath time!
If he is moving around a lot I would try putting him outside with his buddies for a little bit. Spending time outside may encourage his appetite. Hopefully you can get him to eat on his own. If he is drinking fine, but not eating, then he might be able to go a bit longer without tube feeding. But if he continues to not eat, he will need tube feeding.
