baby quarrion with problems
Posted: 08 Dec 2011, 21:12
OK . The little whiteface quarrion baby that fledged and struggled to fly is inside being hand fed and monitored now .
She has a droopy wing and a foot that turns under a bit ,her long toe was overlapping the smaller front toe at first but seems to have unfolded since Ive been getting her to perch on my finger ... she walks ( with a limp ) and eats and interacts with the others in the weaning cage .
So now my question ...can a bird have a stroke ???
Seriously this little bird reminds me of my old Nana after she had her first stroke only thing is the eye isnt droopy and yes both disablities occur on the same side .
I cant see an avian vet until next week , the little one doesnt seem in pain .
Will making her perch hurt her ? Can I do anything to help the wing ?
Could this also be a calcium /D3 issue ? It is the last of the clutch to fledge and the mother was bought not long before she went to nest so I dont know what the old owner was supplementing her with calcium wise .
Please dont tell me to put her down , if she was in pain I would
