So sorry to hear about that. Well, maybe it won't be anything dangerous like that. We can only hope. Until then, try to keep your head up. It's hard I know, but she needs you to bbe strong for her. ^^
Aw it's always hard times when things like this happen.. My thoughts and good will go to you and your bird, I hope you can both get through it okay. Chin up and stay positive, we hope to see you back soon and with good news in tow<3
I just took a bath with my pet cockatiel because of self harm which was making her body around it bloody (I do this every two days) I didn't want it to look worse than it was and make her uncomfortable. We thought it was that, but it has a harsher reason. I noticed (when she was wet) by finally having the guts to move the wing and find out if there was anything that I could do to bandage up the wound, even though it would cause her pain. There is yellowness around it and a tumor-ish shape. Not as much mobility in it and she has been biting at it for months. We think it might be cancerous. We are poor and there is nothing we can do about it except put her to sleep soon if it can be checked beforehand for cancer (which it probably is..).
Where it is, is the wing joint close to where she folds it..
She's about seven/eight years old. I've had her a good few years but I expected to be going with her and my cat to college..
I'm going to sign off for a few good weeks or days. I don't know. I'm so frustrated in myself for not noticing it sooner and lessing her pain faster. This was a shocker.
Bye.
Oh my...
Honestly this is such saddening news to hear...
Though I know exactly how you feel since my own cockatoo we once had was having issues under his wing. In fact we found out he had a large gash under his wing when we bought him from an elderly woman. He was in bad shape, and we did everything we could have done to help him until finally we had to look for a more well off home. We could not afford his vet bills to get him 100% checked out so an older woman who retired from being a vet nurse came, and took him off our hands since she wanted a sweet companion. We told her of his condition, and as soon as they made it to her house they went to the vet for birds, and found he had an infection in his bones.
So thank goodness she had the money to get him all fixed up, and he's so much happier and more talkative with her. Sadly though your case does still have its difference, and I am so sorry this is happening to you, and your sweet bird. If there is anything I can do I would love to try to help you out. Though for now I just hope you do well while you are away, and know everyone here is always going to be here to welcome you back, and give you comfort.
