I have reached a vet 6 hours away that works with a bird vet. He is going to call me back in a few minutes.

Hi,

We all are trying to help you with emergency first aid for your bird but we can not replace the advice from an avian vet.

The best thing right now would be aloe-detox if there is suspect of organ failure. Detox will help clean the kidneys. Pedialyte will help keep the bird hydrated but it should be mixed 50/50 with water. Keep the bird warm with an ambient temperature of 85-87 degrees.

If you are see fresh blood it could be an ulcer or maybe the bird swallowed a sharp object. It is hard to tell without seeing the bird. Is the bird in pain? Do you have any aloe-detox?

Has the bird be around anything toxic?

Gary

Thank you all for your advice and concerns. I just talked to a vet 6 hours away, He said by my description Louie has not lost a significant amount of blood. (under 3 cc's) I am going to pray that he makes it through the night and take him to the Great Falls vet in the morning. Thank you all again. I'll keep you posted tomorrow.

I don't have any aloe detox - he is drinking a lot of water. Is that ok? or should I get some pedialite?

My bird is listless and growls when I go near him, but will let me cuddle with him, but he gets blood all over. I gave him a corn cob to chew on yesterday. i can't think of anything weird that he would have eaten..

Do you know for sure if the bird is bleeding internally? What color is the blood, dark or bright red?
