Small friends

Our little finch has injured her wing. I thought it was broken, with the bone sticking out. Which means that it won't heal. When we finally got in to see the vet, 2 days later, the bone wasn't out tho, so now it can heal.

So, I am giving Kizzie .02 ml of antibiotic once a day by mouth (beak?), and .02 ml of pain killer twice a day by mouth. She is NOT impressed! She is so lively, I wouldn't even have noticed the wing if it wasn't for the flopping down to the cage floor to eat, before she gets back up to the perches. (She is being kept in a small box right now to help keep her less mobile.)

I have to take her to a special sitter this weekend while we are away, so they can give her the medicine.

The things we do for family, hmmm?
