My bird flew into a window. What should I do for a concussion?

With any major injury/accident, it's always best to bring your pet into the vet to rule out any internal problems or injuries that may have been missed by you. Keeping an eye on Koopa until you can get to the vet, watching for changes in eating/drinking habits, behavior, visible injuries such as holding a wing weird or perching funny, is also a good idea.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear that Bobo flew into a window. If you believe that he could be injured in any way, I recommend having him evaluated by your nearest veterinarian. Bird's may hide their clinical signs, so subtle signs such as a wing droop or fluffed feathers may indicate underlying disease/injuries. Your veterinarian may recommend x-rays to evaluate for any orthopedic (boney) injuries, which may require the placement of a splint or bandage. If he continues to act normally (eating, drinking, passing normal feces/urates) and perching normally, he will likely be OK. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, flying into a ceiling fan can cause major injuries to a bird, especially a small one. At home all you can do is put her in a warm quiet environment and make sure she eats and drinks. Anything beyond that you will need to take her to the vet.

She likely was disoriented afterwards and has since recovered. She should be fine going forward. Monitor for lethargy or difficulty perching in the future and have her examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian if necessary.

Thanks for reaching out about Kody. A veterinary visit would be a good idea to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. A concussion or neck injury are possible. Monitor appetite and water consumption. If a cooler evening, provide heat support in a 80-85 F range. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Tweety. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. Monitor food and water intake. If there is the possibility of internal damage, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess. Good luck.

If she hit her head and cannot stay awake this is an emergency that may require veterinary intervention. If she is acting normally now, able to walk and eat then you can monitor and reassess tomorrown but if she is unresponsive or lethargic or difficult to rouse then she needs a veterinary assement asap. Best of luck and I hope she's ok. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
