Just my luck!

Frank and Olive were playing and climbing around on their gym. I went upstairs for a few minutes to make the bed and such. Came down to Olives leg caught between the panels of their cage. On the corner ( back panel and side panel) she was quiet about it, so I didn't know anything was wrong. When I stopped to talk to them as I passed by, I noticed her struggling. I helped her free it and held her close to me for a few minutes and then she appeared fine and fluttered away out of my hands. I placed her in the cage and decided no more play for today and now she is holding it up while on her perch. And is ruffled. Help!!?? Just my luck. Similar to how Harley the canary broke his leg except he wasn't as lucky to have me home. And he caught his leg in a bamboo nest. He severly broke it and sadly had to be euthanized because it was too costly to have fixed.

Oh dear! Let's hope it's not broken. Give her some heat to keep her warm and comfortable. Maybe just a pulled muscle. See how she does in a couple of hours.

If no improvement, I would gently check the leg for any obvious breaks.

Regarding Harley.... why did they not amputate the broken leg?

Good luck.

I think she may be fine. Whew!!! She decided she wanted out. So I opened the door and out she came, climbing around and seems fine. She does hold it up here and there but it doesn't deem to be stopping her and she isn't fooling with it. Not purple, or swollen, appears normal looking, so yes, maybe she was just panicked and milked it a bit. Lol!

Glad she's feeling better. My thought is, that she probably pulled a muscle or two, and it was painful.
