I was trying to separate my two dogs who were being extra roughly, and I saw my dove on top of her cage but then as I was closing the door to the dogs she had flown over without my notice and I got her toe in the door a bit (she flew away before the door closed all the way) but her toe is cut and bleeding. I put some hen healer I have for my chickens on her to hopefully help heal it. How worried should I be? (Will try to get pictures when I can)
 
Just do the best you can. What happened can't be undone.
Just wanted to share some toe stories that happened with my chickens.
The toes on certain breeds seemed to be weaker boned than other breeds. Some of my bantam chickens lost most of their toes slowly over time. They still functioned well even on the stumpy feet they had.
I know doves like to sit/perch on round sticks/branches. If he has trouble holding on,, then provide a flat perch.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and :hugs

Thank you T_T she seems to be able to perch ok. I am going to let her rest for the night and let the medicine do it's thing, and get a better look at it in the morning. :hugs
 
Wanted to give another update. With pictures. Toe is looking better. Also any idea how long it might take to heal? 2 weeks? Longer? Just wondering.
