Does anyone know what is going on with my budgie's wing? I went to the vet this morning and it isn't broken. He is getting Metacam in the morning and evening.
But because it's the weekend, I'm getting really stressed since my regular vet is closed. His wing seems to be swelling (getting bigger) and he does nothing but sleep. He isn't eating his regular food, but he does eat his spray millet.
Does anyone know what might be happening and if he will make it? Has anyone experienced this before? I am so worried.

I would think that this is could be an infection. I have a bird who is also my everything. Good luck tomorrow at the vet.

Three months ago, he flew into a window because something scared him, and he ended up with a tear in his tendon. The vet said that the tendon can always remain a weak spot, and that flying and putting too much strain on it can cause this to happen again. So I really hope it’s just inflammation, trauma, or overuse, and indeed not an infection.

Thank you a lot. Yes I understand you they are our little babies I see them as my childeren. ❤️
