Avatar n tn I have found a black vulture with a broken wing. The wing is broken between the joints. It is my understanding that they can be fixed with plates, pins and or screws unless the bird is a species that has air in it's flight bones. Is the black vulture a species with air in it's flight bones? or can it be fixed in this manner?

436837 tn?1293793226 I know for a fact it has with my dog. She had a broken leg years ago (in her past life before I rescued her) Since then she has limped, and 'hitched' that leg from time to time, especially when the weather turned damp and cold. I started her with the supplement a few months ago in the Spring. I have not looked back! For testimony, she is leaping over hurdles 3-4 feet tall! She did that same thing today, chasing a flying bird! She took my breath away!

Avatar f tn I imagine any animal can die of fright, some are just more susceptible than others. Extreme fear and stress can cause stress myopathy which will cause the heart to stop. I've had it happen at work. It's not a pleasant thing to be examining a bird and have it die in my hands. Sure, it may have had a broken wing but the exam is sometimes too much for it no matter how quick or gentle I am. What kind of scare did the rat have? Or is this just a question out of curiosity?
Avatar m tn Horror of horrors, when I snapped the towel it actually HIT the bird and killed him. I told my mom the bird had flown into the dresser mirror and died. I still feel bad about that but honestly, I never meant to hurt it. I think your daughter was doing something kind of like that. If you never see any more signs that she is mean to animals, I think you should let it go.
Avatar f tn One of my neighbors had their house broken into while they were out for an early bird dinner. The doctor would not them even though they filed a police report. The supposed reason was that though their house was locked, the alarm hadn't been set. I didn't think that was fair. (And we live in a quiet neighborhood and everyone knows each other. I never lock our doors.) Good luck.
Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.
Avatar f tn Is there any swelling or bruising? Was the skin broken? Do all the digits lay in a normal position when he's standing? Swelling and bruising should resolve on its own. If the skin was broken, there is a chance for infection to develop. Keep the foot clean and watch for redness or swelling. Take the bird to the vet if you see that. If a toe or the foot seems to lay at an unusual angle, there's probably a break and he should be seen by a vet to splint the foot properly.
Avatar f tn s tail feathers plucked, a broken wing and a broken leg. As I scooped the bird away, I asked what he was doing, and he said, "I made the birdie go tweet tweet tweet!" Perhaps I'm delusional, but again, I don't believe he understood the rammifications of his actions, especially since the bird did not bite him in the melee. When I took him away, however, I was tagged by a sharp beak, which drew blood, I yelped, and both my parents and sister came running.

Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.

Avatar m tn I had my thyroid killed with radioactive iodine a year ago Jan. This happened at least two years after my endocrynologist told me I was ready. I was unable to afford the treatment and was forced to use my counties program for medically indigent adults, and twice the doctors in charge of my case let my numbers get completely out of control, leaving my only option to double up on the methamazole. All my adult life, I had been 135 lbs. with no eating issues.

Avatar f tn Hi ..right leg broken severly after 7 months no improvement in bone..
1542537 tn?1293207098 Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.

Avatar n tn Are leg cramps because of the meds? Last night I kept getting cramps in my toes and the front of my right shin. Not because of dehydration for sure. Drinking plenty of water. Is 5-6 16.9oz bottles enough throughout the day, or should I be drinking more. I ate 3 large bananas yesterday also & still cramps. Started feeling a little quezzy now and then yesterday. Has any one else had the leg cramps. And has any one tried Restful Legs from Walmart? I'm buying some today for later on today.
Avatar m tn You need to post that question on the gastroenterology forum. You have the bacteria that causes ulcers not hepc. This forum deals with people who have hepc. My opinion is NO, the doctor will not prescribe medical marijuanna for your ailment. Maybe pain pills for the broken rib, but that's it. If you want to smoke pot, just buy it from somebody you know.
1187071 tn?1279369698 t understand it but when the bird food is gone I am not feeding them anymore. I SAW the black bird eating the bird food so why would he kill other birds? Anyone know? I don't know what to do I feel like I have a serial bird killer on the run and I don't want it to happen to another bird but there is no way I can stop it. Any one have any ideas on what to do or how to stop or even WHY this bird is killing other birds???
