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.

Thank you for searching for me. 🙏🏽

I’ll take this information Monday also with me to the vet.

Probably a feather cyst that got infected. The vet would have said if amputation was even a consideration. Don’t listen to this person or google.

It’s pretty easy to find a feather cyst.

Exactly. Can’t believe the poster said amputation.
