My pet bird has a broken wing. What's the cost for vet treatment?

Pricing will vary depending on your location, the clinic you go to, and what is wrong. Since the bird is wild, it is best to locate a wildlife vet or wildlife refuge near you that can safely take the bird in, treat it, and then re-release it once healthy.

You should check to see if there are any wild life rehabilitation services or animal control services in your area. You can drop the dove off with them and they normally don't charge you. If you do not have one near you, the best thing would be to take him to a veterinarian. Some veterinarians treat wild life at no cost or discounted cost. You should call around to different veterinary clinics to see what they would charge you. The veterinarian would start off by doing an exam and possible xray of the wing. Normal cost for this would range from $75-$150. Best of luck to you. Thank you for using pet coach.

Check local and state wildlife laws first to make sure you are allowed to keep Angel. Next, contact the local veterinary clinic and ask for the contact information of nearby wildlife rehabilitator. If you are legally prohibited from keeping wildlife, a rehabber will give Angel the best chance at treatment and recovery. If you are allowed to keep Angel, a rehabber should be able to direct you to a veterinarian who may be able to help out. Any discount or assistance would be at the sole discretion of the veterinarian or specialist.

Your cockatiel's wing may be broken-0 it is hard to say. If he is holding it at an unusual angle or the end is bent, that is a sign it is broken. It could just be badly bruised. A vet can give you meds to help reduce the pain and swelling and take an xray to see if is broken. Young birds can heal well but they may need a little bandage to hold the bones in the correct place

Unfortunately a bird with a broken wing will not be able to survive in the wild, even after the fracture has healed. if you would consider keeping it then i would recommend to take him to the vet, if it is a simple fracture there is a special bandage that can be done to fix it.

Without a physical exam, it is difficult to determine if amputation is needed. If so, this is not something that should be attempted at home. Most general practice veterinarians will be able to assess the bird's injuries and dispense medication for pain or infection. Although it would be ideal, you don't "need" an avian vet.

That will vary depending on what vet you see! It is best to contact a vet in your area to see what their prices are. Many vets will also happily show you how to trim the wings so that you can do it on your own in the future.
