DUMP that water!

Acetaminophen (tylenol) is a BAD choice for pain relief in a bird, dog and especially cat. Dump the water, do not use this. You may have harmed your bird, depending on how much you used. Pain relievers are not interchangeable especially, when you use them in different species. The previous BYC folk recommended aspirin- NOT tylenol or advil. It would be great if you could take your bird ASAP to a vet for an x-ray to see if the wing has any hope of healing, get appropriate avian safe pain meds, competent wing wrap if fracture is amenable to this, appropriate antibiotics if dog mouth punctures are found, and be sure to tell them that you gave your bird acetaminophen so they can treat for that too.

If the bird was pulled under the fence by a dog, and mauled enough to break a wing, there are likely wounds you have not found- look under the wing, keel area, where the legs join the body. From your description, you have separated her, checked her poop and doctored her water- have you actually picked her up yet and inspected her all over?

DO it! She needs more help than watching and waiting.

i've checked her a few times ...thers no puncture wounds...the dog got some feathers and possibly broke her wing ...
Acetaminophen ...what that isn't good? for a pain reliever

 

[Grass]

actually i think shes doing pretty well after being mulled by a dog ...she eating and drinking ...i dont see any blood in her poo...she actully had grapes from my hand less than 15 minutes after being mulled by the dog ....i just think she has a broken wing ....she seems to be standing on the leg i thought maybe broken ...but the wing is sagging to her feet

 

[Grass]

i used about half a childrens pain reliever in a pretty good sized bowl of water

 

[Grass]

it amazed me just to see her up and eating and drinking on her own

acetaminophen (tylenol) YOU said you used it. As I said, this is not an appropriate choice for a BIRD. Humans are not birds. Chickens are not children. If you are going to use human labeled medications like aspirin free & ibuprofen free (acetaminophen) children's pain reliever, do the right thing and make sure what you are using is a safe choice for the species.
Acetaminophen= poison/toxin for most species besides humans. Small dose, maybe no harm. Large dose, you make kill the pet you are trying to help.
