Peggy..... Do you know about books that actually address the bird/dog issue? If you do, I would love to get the titles. Not that I have had any problems really, but I would love to read about that problem and solving tips.
Phillips..... I should have been clearer, I read a post that said give water and food, and of course you shouldnt keep the poor bird away from food once it is a certain that it is not in chock lol..... Now I feel bad, it sounded like I wanted to make the poor thing starve. But as long as you dont know if it is in chock or not, DO NOT give food, feeding a bird in chock will most likely make things way worse and risk to kill it. I dont foster birds for the wildlife since I have both cats and dogs, but it is in our training so we can treat and take care of it until a bird spec. takes over.
Also if you decide to give her the "bath tub" be very careful so you keep in extremely clean, since she has holes and broken skin, she is very very prone to infections, and they do tend to poop in the water if it is left in the cage, so just make sure she does not go in a water that is not absolutely clean. I would probably spray her instead if she likes that.
How is birdy doing today. I hope she is feeling better. Please keep us updated
