You know, if one of my birds was hurt, the LAST thing that would cross my mind would be to do an Internet search or go looking for a news group! I'm sorry to be so blunt, but when it comes to a seriously hurt/sick bird, the ONLY place to seek help is from a qualified vet and to do any less is just plain cruel.
If the vets you've called said they have to see him to help him, how do
you expect US to help him?!
Your bird could easily die of shock.. if not from the broken leg... from being mauled by the dog!
"I can't get to a vet right now" is hog wash. If this was a human you'd
damn well figure out a way to get to a doctor/hospital, wouldn't you?
Every minute that you put off getting this baby treated is another minute
he has to suffer in pain and agony.
It's now been over 3 hours since you posted your plea for help. I
certainly hope that by now you've gotten him the medical attention he
needs.

Hello, I've never been to this newsgroup before, so do please excuse me

if I'm

in the wrong place; I'm just in a rush right now. My dog got ahold of my >budgie and the bird (kiwi) seems to have broken his left leg. I can't

get to a

vet right now, and am searching the web for any info on how to help him

in the

meantime. Does anyone here have any experience with this? I'd welcome

any

advice, even if to point me to a different newsgroup, etc. The vets I called
for advice all say they'd have to see him to help...but I can't GO

anywhere

right now! Arrgh! Right now Kiwi is in a shoebox with some cotton

batting to

lie on, and has some food and water. He still can fly, but his leg just lies
out to the side; he won't put any weight on it. Thanks in advance for

any

suggestions...
~Cindy
