Sore Foot?

Vet and tech will be here within the hour, I will let you know what's happening then

Alrighty, vet gave each bird a shot of calcium something or other, to err on the safe side. Ozzy was walking around on his feet with barely any issues. Diva twisted her leg when she landed on the side of the cage and fell off (about 6"). Went to a local vet for xrays on Diva. She's doing much better, still has a sore foot but nothing majorly wrong. I've been instructed to prevent them from flying for about a week, give extra calcium rich foods and keep the cage lined with towels. Also to let them bath in a warm bath twice a day to help their little legs feel better. Both have perked up a bit, Diva still sleeping more, Ozzy wanting to play :)

Pick up some oyster shell, at the feed store or pet shop and offer it in a separate dish from their food.
I offer it to my Pigeons daily.
They need red Pigeon grit too.
Good luck with the no flying. :eek:

Lol, yeah I know I don't think they will stop flying, but I will see what I can do, lol. I've got oyster shell grit (with charcoal), I am not sure where to find red grit? I will have to call the feed stores to find out if they have it/can order it. I can't order it online, as I don't have a credit card (buggers).

A feed store should have it. Some even sell it in small bags.

Wonderful, thanks!

Appreciate the update, Tara.
Glad to hear things don't seem to be too bad.

I buy oyster shell grit with bits of charcoal as well. My guys love it.

Please do keep us posted on how things are coming along.
