Guest pigeon82 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 heres my first bird that has been hit all stitched up now she is all the muscles were ripped inside so they were stithed first then outer skin was stitched
micko and jack Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 TLC tender loving care Phil I let the fantails out one day it p*ssed all day and were litterly soaked to the skin and I was worried about losing any of jacks birds he would have been heart broken so I got the hairdryer out and make the mistake of posting in on a thread and the likes of jacks adopted uncle gangster AND OTHER ripped the back clean out of me hairdying birds but do you know what I never lost one moral of the story you can only try your best and don't worry about what the begrudges say lol THAT COULD BE THE BIG WINNER
pjc Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 there isn't a lot you can do with the wing. Is it broken? It looks as if its just taken a knock and may correct itself although i find a bird that damages a wing is never the same again when it comes to flying.
Guest pigeon82 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 pjc the wing drags along floor been like it for week kept her in kitchen for last 2 nites getting stronger i had a bird that knocked her wing about a month or 2 before racing got some pain killers off the vet and the bird was fine flew 4 races then decided to fly to belfast but shes still here for another year and shes a scruffy thing that i thought would dissappear in no time your right micko never know when your holding a potential winner
Guest mick bowler Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Did the one with the dropped wing have a bump or did it just appear?
Guest IB Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Have had two cases: in the first I was told that a trailing wing is an indication of a problem 'high up the wing' - it turned out to be an infected shoulder joint; the second case was a broken bone (radius). Sling in either case would be no use at all; the broken bone was strapped to its neighbour (ulna) using something called a sticky bandage, the wing was basically trussed, but it didn't prevent her trying to fly so she was confined to a box for 6 weeks to allow the bone to heal, after which I removed bandage and she was able to fly right away after doing that. Not sure a sling would be of any use in your case either. In humans its used to support a limb that has been attended to; your bird's problem hasn't been attended to - you don't know what is wrong.
Guest pigeon82 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 just appeared but was looking at just no bups or bruises
