my gouldian finch hurted her leg I dont know what to do she has 3 eggs please help me she cannot walk or fly I gave her water please help me how I can recover an ınjured leg please fast as possible

[kathmcm]

Can you describe the injury? Is the leg broken, cut, or swollen? There are people here who know more, but I think I have read that a splint can sometimes be used until a broken leg heals.

Kath is correct - we would need more information on the type and amount of damage done to the leg. I would immediately place her in a small hospital cage (if there is a male to carry on incubation of the eggs) with a heatlamp close to one end of a perch.

Also the priority is to save the hen.
If the male won't incubate the eggs, then so be it, don't worry about the eggs.

I agree with Gary.

[DanteD716]

I agree with Gary..and we need details to help. Give a heatlamp to start.

She broke her leg and I took her to vet the vet said I can t do anything to a bird this small!!!! Then I took her to home gave her water because she couldnt reach by her self plus I gave her food by syringue still while I was getting her to the hospital cage she died in my hands while taking her to the hospital cage

[kheather]

I am so sorry for your loss, hard to see a little bird in pain! I would not introduce another hen till he is done with babies, there is still a possibility he may abandon the eggs without her. Best of luck!!
