Poor little thing

I am going to have to leave this one to someone who possibly has some experience related to this. I wish her only the best

I just called our vet,we have an appointment this evening(or whatever time will it be for you) ,so I hope he will be able to immobilize it.
poor little thing,he just came out and is already in problems,and pain

Oh shame sorry to hear that. Hopefully your vet can splint it... youngsters heal up so quickly.

Aww poor little one. Someone on here suggest splinting with a plastic straw (cut to length and split up the side). I like the sound of that - seems simple enough...?

yeah,the vet said he will do that...

ps.just realized I wrote the subject wrong...I was in a panic at that moment

vet said that his leg is not broken,only disjointed... he immobilized it but it looks weird to me because it's not staying like it is supposed to..
I drew it because I didn't want to put that little guy into more stres( I know it's funny drawn like this:) )

Actually that is a much better drawing that I could do.

But I can't comment on the leg positioning - I just don't know.

I looks to me like it's easier for him/her to sit and move like that,but it doesn't look like a natural position...I guess that the vet wouldn't do something that would harm him/her,so ...I hope it's just the way it's supposed to be

Ya that was me who suggested that before.
Works like a charm, try it.

Dobro, swaka ti chast! Drugi put snash shta treba uraditi.
So now you know what to do if it happens again with another bird.
