He/she is in the baby pen where whe whole flock can see but not touch. The roo in the background is Big Guy. He gets bullied so he's been living with the babies for a while

Here's Big Guy

Go to "miles falconry supplies" online. You can have bird antibiotics of many kinds overnights to you. They had amoxicillin and doxycycline and a bunch of others when I last ordered. And the man who owns it is amazing and knowledgable.

Thank you, I'll check them out. There's many places where you can order online.

How old is “he”? It still looks like a girl. Good job on the amputation!

If you watch when Dr. Pol when he works and sows birds back up he doesn’t use any anesthesia or pain killers.

Initially I was horrified as well. I don't think this person ought to be banned though.

Often times anesthetics will kill, I've seen plenty of chickens with gaping holes and exposed bone recover without any help whatsoever. Chickens are tough like that. This little one is being doted on and cared for now.

This person isn't telling others they ought to not bring their own birds to a vet. TundraFang also contributes a lot to BYC, this emergency operation shouldn't be grounds for banning in my opinion. Pixar is going to recover and live a long life because of it. TundraFang did the right thing, I didn't see it quite this way at first but it's very clear to me after watching little Pixar get bigger. See how close Pixar was to the camera?
