 Somehow, Yoshi managed to scrape the back of his leg while I was asleep. I awoke to this. It's dried over and isn't bleeding any more, but I'm still worried about infection. Is there any way I should treat this? I think it's only a scrape, as he walks fine on it and is otherwise acting like nothing is wrong. |

Yikes! Sorry, I'm clueless but just want to offer moral support.  Hope it heals OK. |

 It looks much better this morning. I guess he cleaned it last night before he went to sleep. Will continue to keep an eye on it I guess, and hope all is good. |

I had a cream from a vet that I got for Allie after she crash landed and banged up her breastbone a little. Silver nitrate solution rings a bell, but I can't swear to that. I also have something over the counter called HealX Soother Plus. It's edible, which is important, and it has both antibiotic and analgesic qualities. I don't know if it's still available. If not, I hope it was replaced by something because many people raved about it.

Neosporin? Soap and water? Birds heal amazingly fast (I have an accident-prone budgie, who has provided me with this knowledge, LOL) so probably the soap and water solution is the best. A day or two and you'll never know it happened. Use Dawn dishwashing liquid for the soap; it's safe for birds. I'm sure you have already done this part, but see if you can figure out what he scraped his leg on. Maybe a sharp something in the cage and you could remove the thing to keep it from happening again?

His green feathers are just so gorgeous in those photos - can't stop admiring them. |

Hope it heals OK.
