Panther Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hey all just to keep everyone upto date, my little babe has had a accident today he somehow has managed to chop his nail completly in half. So it was blood splatter all over so of to vets we went and he said so far all looking ok but we have to keep a close eye on him for more bleeding or swelling, keep him in a dark cage and in a quiet place and put this cream on his toe 1 time a day for 14 days. :ohmy: Weve put him in his cage and covered him up but due to him not liking being caged he has set his foot bleeding with his circulating the cage so im a nearvous mummy trying too keep him calm so he can begin to heal. Will try to keep u all upto date on how he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm sorry to hear of your baby's accident. I'm sure if you are worried about calming your grey a phone call to your vet for further advice should be enough. Good luck with trying to keep him calm.

judygram Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I am so sorry to hear of his injury but Julie is right, your vet is the one you should be asking for help in this situation, good luck and please keep us informed and I hope he is going to be ok.

danmcq Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sorry to hear of this accident. One question though, if you let him out of the cage and he is with you. Is he calmer than climbing all over wanting out to be with you? The reason I ask, is the dark cage and quite scenario is in hopes of him remaining fairly still. It sounds like that isn't working.

she Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Im with Dan on this. If Dusty is calm when out the cage let him out.The idea is to keep him quiet and calm.I hope he heals up very soon,let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 That's awful - poor Dusty. I'm with the others - if he's calmer out of the cage, then let him out - sounds like he's going to cause more damage than good by strutting around the cage. Fingers crossed it heals up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Panther, if Dusty is calm, content and still while with you, close to you, then I would keep him close. On a stand close by if not on your arm or shoulder or in your arms. I would do whatever is needed to keep him still and calm until his foot starts to heal properly. This is just my opinion of course.

judygram Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So glad to hear that Dusty is better and the bleeding stopped and if he is calmer out of his cage then so be it, you do what you have to do. That is so true, you never know what will happen so its better to be prepared and not need it than to not be prepared and need it, thanks for the tip.

katana600 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Poor Dusty and his family being rattled by this injury. It makes us stronger to know we can handle whatevery comes our way, but it is hard to know our loved ones have suffered. A broken nail to them is like a head wound to us, it would seem from all the bleeding. Glad you found a way to keep him calm so it could heal. Now that he is feeling better, you need to have TLC to treat your nerves too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
