Oodies foot just got trapped in a closing door.

I got a shreik and he's on one foot, fluffed up with the dozy look about him (10mins later)

The foot works fine...he can grab and there are no tears etc.  He's stopped a slow building squark if you touch it now but it's clear he wants the weight off it.  He'll use it if hes desperate to eat a grape...which suggests its not that bad...and he can land fine.

Do you think I've been lucky this time?  Anything else I should do?  I'm thinking it might be best if I cage him for a few hours.

i hope oddie  feels better soon....

i just found this on line.... (its from another parrot rescue)

Cuts, bruises and burns

Aloe vera gel, Calendula and Dr Bach Rescue Remedy cream can be applied locally.

Arnica can be crushed and added to soft foods and fed with a spoon.

Aloe vera is also available as a solution, a few drops of which can be added to drinking water.

Aw poor Oddie

I slammed a door shut in haste one day and on top of the door was one of my grey's Roxxi! she screamed but I couldn't get close to her at all. Eventually, we decided that her toe was bleeing and we did manage to put some aloe soother on it! She really just wanted to be left alone but it must have hurt i went to work feeling really guilty!

The next day she was trying not to use it and had to use her beak to get around, poor baby, I really felt awful for her, so heartbreaking to watch.

It wasn't till a couple of day later that the top layer of skin/scales fell off her toe and we realised that it really MUST have hurt her, poor chickie had a really pink toe for a while but it didn't stop her after a few days!

Nothing was broken or damaged thankfully, so you'll probably find if she's using it, it'll be just fine.

margy i use aloe vera gel on mine too....

belle scraped the skin off the top of 1 of her toes ( not sure how ) when i noticed i rubbed a little aloe on....

the day after it looked loads better

How's the foot doing???
