Rocky had an accident on Thursday afternoon. He was on a play stand in a room that my daughter and I were watching tv. I fell asleep, while my daughter
continued to watch tv. Rocky was playing and eating on the stand. I awoke to a squawk. I looked to the stand and Rocky was gone. I found him on floor near the couch I was on. At first I thought he was ok and just thought he tried to fly, but his wings are clipped. When I went to have him step up he was pretty wobbly, but did step up. He was dazed and his balance was off. I placed him on the floor of his cage and noticed he couldn't stand very well using both legs, that he seemed to be placing most of his weight on his left leg. I watched him for a while and their was an obvious weakness on his right side. We took him to the vet within an 1 1/2 hours, the vet didn't palpate any obvious fractures. They kept him over night and when he didn't appear to improve (or worsen) they did an x-ray which showed no obvious problems. He was put on prednisone twice daily. We picked him up as it was felt he would be less stressed at home. They are leaning toward a neuro problem, such as inflammation on nerves causing loss of coordination/motor loss. Possibly a concussion. He was approximately 6-8 feet away from the stand, between a coffee table and a couch. I feel he got bored and was trying to get to me. I feel horrible. He hadn't tried to leave the stand before.

Today he seems alert and eating. He still isn't standing on his right leg. Any one ever have this happen? The vet is going to call tomorrow for a follow up. Any suggestions?
