Hello!
I'm new to this forum and while I'm here i wanted to introduce myself. My name is Robyn and I'm 15. I've had my feathered friend Theo since I was 10 and he is now 6 years old, he's usually a very happy, loud Pied cockatiel. Unfortunately recently he has been sick, he's been vomiting on and off for a few months now. Yesterday, was one of the scariest days of my life. Theo had been being sick and i had rung the vets and was going to go and pick up a stronger dose of antibiotics. But later on in the day he fell and looked like he had broken his wing, minutes later he was happily flying again then his foot looked funny and he seemed to be walking on his back toes and they were bent underneath his feet. In panic I took him to the vets where he was checked over and i was told he was fine, although my vet said where he fell he might have trapped a nerve so she gave him an anti-inflammatory injection to make the pain go away. Although today i woke up to find him with very different coloured feet almost a pale purple colour and he seems to be sitting on the bottom of his cage a lot half asleep. The vet said to me that he would be spaced out for the next 24 hours and might rest a lot but i did find him walking on his feet funny again but now he seems to be fine and he is also sat with his head to the left a lot more often but i'm not sure if he's just resting or not ;( if anyone has had a similar problem it would really help if you could tell me what to do! Thanks! xx
