发帖数: 814 | 1 Now for the sad news that has got me crying for the past week, her leg is
bad - VERY bad. She has got 4 different breaks, instead of her leg bending
backwards it actually bends forward. It is an old break because there are no
sharp points left. This poor - poor girl was left like that, the bastard
who owned her never even bothered to take her to a vet. The pain must have
been unbearable and it is still very painful when she stands for long or
walks on it. God keeps on sending victims to me but oh it does not get
easier, my heart completely breaks, I can feel their pain.
I have two options, one is to amputate the leg and all pain is gone, but how
will she get along with only one leg? The second options is to break the
leg and reset it with a needle inside, but we do not know if the bone will
grow again because it is such an old injury. The chances are also 50/50 that
it will still remain painful even after it has healed from the opp.
I have sleepless nights about this, which one must I choose, which one is
best for her? I can let them reset the leg and if I see the pain does not go
away or the bones does not grow they can always amputate the leg, knowing
that we tried everything. The only problem is that anesthetic is very
dangerous for birds - can I really try twice?
What would you do? She is such a precious, loving bird! I told the vet that
I will bring her as soon as she is stress free and in top condition with the
right diet, at least she will have a better chance of surviving the
anesthetic then. But, oh, it hurts seeing her in pain all the time.
