Oh no! POOR BABY ROCKET!

Other than his foot, is he acting fine? Is he eating/drinking? Are his poops normal? Do you think he could've broken his foot by getting it stuck in the cage bars or on a toy or something? Oh dear. I would take him to the vet immediately. They have studied animals for years and they CAN help hopefully. You need to take him to the vet to rule out any illness that could have caused it. It could be an injury, but it could also be something else. Let's hope its nothing serious and that he will heal fast and well. Poor baby Rocket! Did this happen all of a sudden? I don't want to scare you, but budgies are prone to certain tumors that can affect their legs/balance, and though I'm not sure of this, I've heard it. Please, PLEASE get him to the vet as soon as possible. Its best if you get him to an avian vet, but even if you can't you still need to get him to the vet. May Rocket recover well and quickly get better and have a long happy life ahead of him. *hugs*



I'll be praying for your little Rocket boy.

BTW, vets can and do operate on birds when possible.
