Question
our little cockatiel had a recent mishap we both woke in the morning and found that our cocktaiel was laying on the bottom of the cage and was still moving but was limping found that one of her foots  or claw is bent we got xrays and found the bones are ok but could possiblty nerve damage will she ever recover with full mobility we are feeding her baby food becuse she has hard time getting to the food bowl and drinking water. She is still active is it possible she had a seizure what would be the treatment a splint of something or do we let it heal on its own

Answer
Hello Ken and Holly.
If you took her to the vet I would hope the vet would have told you everything you need to do. I am not able to give you any information on whether or not she had a seizure, I cant see her physicly. I dont think you can do much for a leg that wont move. Call the vet and ask. They should know.
