Thank you everybody. PCB, I live in the city. I know I found it so weird that an avian vet was so far away.The stupid thing is that we need to drive to the far away one and if he needs emergency care, we need to drive him to a place that's a little closer to us so he can get treatment. Isn't that ridiculous?!But it's true. We called the vet Mickey goes to and she told us that they don't do birds. I couldn't believe it. I keep telling my mom we need to take him in...
she doesn't want. Maybe if I offer to pay for the vet bills? I don't know what to do about that anymore. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers though.
Last night, Rocket had another "attack". We took him out of the cage and my mom pet his head and stomach. He was chirping very softly. We put him back in and for a minute he just lay face down on the floor, not moving. I thought, this is it. He's gone. But he got back up again. He started walking around and his leg was sliding all over the place. He was sort of limping. We decided to play vet, and took a piece of gauze, cut it up and put it around his leg. My mom took him out and wrapped him in a blanket. He fell asleep that night on her lap. I held him for awhile too. He looked so peaceful and happy. That night I prayed for my baby boy.
This morning I came downstairs to check on him. He was up on the perch eating. I couldn't believe it. I made him get on my hand and he was hopping around like normal. We took out the gauze and he was fine. A miracle, maybe?
I still want to take him in, but that's gonna take a lot of convincing. I also want to get his wings cut so he could come out the cage. Last night, he didn't even flutter his wings when we took him out. He was so good and calm.I'm not sure about Sky. She's afraid of everything (no matter how hard I try to get her to go on my hand) and wouldn't let me near her. Just run off all over the house. And then there's Mickey. Would he try to eat them? Mickey loves chasing the birds in the back and at the park.
Thank you everybody for your prayers and advice. And for saying I'm a good mommy. That made me feel good. Still, I need to do what I can to avoid this to happen again and it won't be easy.
Thank you once again.*hugs* to all.
