Rescued a wild bird with a broken wing. Where to find cheap vet care?

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.

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.

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.

Cost will vary depending on the treatment needed to repair the wing, and depending on the clinic you bring Harry to. It would be best to contact veterinarians in you area as they can provide a better estimate of cost as well as provide you with treatment plans after examining him.

Hello, and thanks for using Petcoach (now Boop). Unfortunately, with a complicated fracture such as that, and if the owl is acting woozy, it is likely in shock and unlikely to survive without veterinary care. If you really want to help save this owl, it's best to find someone to transport it to the nearest veterinarian. If you can do so safely and gently, you may be able to place a gentle tape to stabilize the wing against the body. I'm including a link to a website with some more information on this - but I really want to stress that this bird should be seen by a vet, and without vet care it is very likely to die. However, I used to live in West Africa and understand how difficult it can be to reach a vet if there isn't one in your area. Good luck to you! https://www.cuteness.com/article/fix-broken-bird-wing

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like she defintely needs medical attention. I would see if your parents can drive her to a rehab center or some rehab volunteers will pick animals up so perhaps you can find someone to do this. You can look at https://www.nwrawildlife.org/page/Find_A_Rehabilitator and https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/how-find-wildlife-rehabilitator to try to find a rehabilitator near you. Until then I would keep the bird in a quiet dark place and handle it as little as possible.

Your best bet, with any found wild bird, is to try and find a wildlife refuge or veterinary clinic that can take him in. They are better equipped to help treat and rehabilitate sick birds and get them back into the wild safely. Until you can find a place that will take him in, keeping him in a warm hospital cage that is separate from other pets and birds (to prevent the spread of anything) and with access to food and water can help.
