Broken legs and wings
If you suspect that your bird has broken either its leg or wing it is obviously vital to get the bird to an avian veterinary surgeon as soon as possible but there are some simple procedures that you could carry out before travel to ensure no further damage occurs.
Only a thin layer of skin and muscle covers the bones in birds and when a bone breaks they can easily penetrate through the skin causing a compound fracture. Compound fractures are harder to repair due to the increased chance of infection. Most fractures do not start off as compound fractures but become them on the way to the vets due to the leg not being supported – this is obviously very painful for the bird so it is best to apply a splint or supportive dressing prior to travel.
I use co form bandage on broken legs wrap it round the fracture site until the leg is supported and no movement can occur. If the fracture is already compound then it is useful to apply the melolin dressing over the broken bones prior to using the co form to reduce infection.
Wing fractures should be dealt with by reducing the movement of the wings by strapping all the primary feathers together. If you are confident at handling your bird then it is worth strapping the birds’ wing to the body to further prevent movement.
