Shaq Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Need some help please. Charlie flew head first from the gate onto the table top and I'm not sure if he bit his tongue or hurt his mouth but it bleed. After some water the bleeding stopped and he whistled and got about his day fine but i am still worried. I know bleeding is not good - what should i do??
BMustee Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 It sounds like he may have damaged his beak. Infections can set in very fast and isn't something you should "wait and see" on. You should take him in to see an Avian vet to have him look over the beak and possibly do some blood work to check for high white blood cell counts. That is what I would do.
danmcq Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I'm with Bmustee on this. A vet check would be advisable.
judygram Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I'm with Dan and Berna, a vet check is a must, you don't want to take any chances.
Ronda477 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I agree with the rest as well. I am an EMT for people lol, and Berna is absolutely right. Infection can set in soo fast it's not funny. And we don't have our noses rooting around in our dishes lol. So I would take Charlie to the vet too if it were me.
lovemyGreys Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Yep totally agree with the others, a vet check, better to be safe than sorry Please keep us informed.
dblhelix Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Sorry to hear about this. Go to the vet. Chances are all will be fine, but you should get it checked out ASAP. Is Charlie a new flier/learning? or was/is he flight proficient and had a crash landing? Keep us posted.
MommaFawkes Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Oh poor baby!! I also suggest a vet check, if it is a beak injury they can be so serious! Goodluck and keep us posted!
Shaq Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 hi guys, good news. Charlie is fine:) vet check was done and it appears he bit the corner of his tongue on impact. charlie says thank you for all your words of encouragement and advise.
BMustee Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Thats good it was only the tongue. Glad to hear all is well.
