Since Beaker likes the top perch and since the cage is quite tall (flight cage) when she fell, the chances were good that she would break a wing or a leg. She did neither.
She will stay the day in an oxygen chamber, being fed antibiotics and pain meds, as she may have a problem with vertigo. I don’t know what it’s called. She’ll be ready, maybe, at 1630. Or maybe by tomorrow morning. The doc will call me later on about it.
I truly thought her neck might have been broken because she couldn’t hold her head up. The vet said it was because she was dizzy.
I was very afraid they would have to put her down. She wore herself out, what with the stress and her trying to get up, so maybe she’ll be able to sleep, now. Poor baby.
Poor Beaker. You’ll have to remove the upper perch for a while and make her sit closer to the ground.
