I agree with Dennis... we need more info. But let me tell you this - my SuzieQ broke her arm last year, and she is just fine now. I seperated her from Oakley and put her in a smaller cage so she wouldn't move around as much. I gave her a calcium block (was from the bird section of the pet store), and I made sure she had her vitamins every day. She knew what was good for her and she ate a LOT of that calcium. I also cut her food up into smaller pieces so that she could handle it with one hand.

She held her arm close to her side for about a week, then slowly started using it. I think I kept her in the small cage for 3 weeks, then returned her to her normal cage.

I did take her to the vet, but there wasn't anything he could do. The vet was very brave and risked life and limb to feel the broken arm (Suzie bit the daylights out of me instead of him... not fair).

Keep us posted!

Cathy
