My parakeet hit the fan. What immediate care for its sprained wing?

If the wing is hanging down it should be bandaged to his body to stabilize it until healed. This could take a month or two. There are many ways to do this. It is best for your vet to do it so you don’t make it too tight but you can google and watch you tube videos on how to do this. He needs to stay in the cage, don’t even let him attempt to fly until the wing is healed.

If she can still fly then it is not broken, it's probably just painful, it will likely get better within a few days, try to keep her rested in her cage most of the time until it starts getting better.

This is usually a sign of a wing injury, if he can still fly then the wing is not broken. if the problem does not resolve within a week i would recommend taking him to an avian vet specialist in order to get it checked and treated.

It is possible that Tweety has a broken wing, however, in a 12 day old bird it could also be a "conformational abnormality", meaning Tweety may have been born with one wing that did not develop properly. If you can get her to a veterinarian she can be examined to determine what is causing her to hold her wing that way. They may also want to take an x-ray to get a better look at the bones of the wing. If it is broken a veterinarian will usually splint it or wrap it in a special bandage to allow it to heal. In a young bird it usually only takes around 4-6 weeks to heal from a break. I hope this helps, good luck with Tweety.

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.

If he is continually bleeding, then it's best to get him to a vet as soon as possible, because they can't afford to lose too much blood. If the bleeding has stopped and he is eating/drinking OK, then you can wait for 24 hours and see if there is any improvement with how he holds his wing. Sometimes they initially will hold it like this and it will shake due to the pain and not a fracture. If it doesn't seem better after a day, then I would get it checked out by a veterinarian to see if there is any serious damage. I hope that helps and Rainbow gets better soon.

When a bird is hit by a fan, they are often in a great deal of pain. They can get broken bones, and also trauma to their brains. These can all cause them to be weak and quiet. I would recommend taking Mithu to a veterinary clinic as soon as you can. They will perform an exam to see where she is injured, and may recommend radiographs (x-rays) to check for broken bones. They can start medications to ease her pain, and may start antibiotics as well. Please don’t give Mithu any human medications at home, as many of these are harmful to birds. If she has any broken bones, there is the potential that she may not fly again. Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon!
