Bird in Shock

[2aussiebirds]

My bird (cockatiel) was attacked by a dog today. She has no visible signs of injury, but is very quiet and may be in shock. Is there anything that I can do to help her recover?

This bird needs to asap see a vet. Just cuz there is no outward signs of injury doesn't mean your lil bird is ok. There could be internal damage.

It is always much better to be safe than sorry. I hope that everything is ok. Poor little one. I would not waste a second getting her there.

And I am sure others will be along to give you better advice.

When my Grey was attacked by a few of my Chihuahuas I took her to my avian vet and she administered fluids watched her.She was also missing
a large amount of feathers so they checked her over for any bruising or puncture marks.These things can not be seen.Fortunately the only thing rhat was found was the large amount of missing feathers.After some time and observation she was sent home with instructions to keep an eye on her.We all
know the danger of human and animal saliva to our birds.If not treated in time
it can be fatal.

Now my other pets have no contact with my birds.

I hope everything turns out okay.

Keep your bird in a dark warm place where he can relax until you can get him to an avian vet.
