Please help! I dont know what to do or whats wrong!
I have had finches for a while but have never had anything like this happen.
I found one of my finches on the bottom of the cage not being able to move or fly. She would just lie on her side. I moved her out of the cage into another one as I don't know what is wrong with her. I checked her over and she was missing feathers on her back and it was swollen. She has made it through the week and seemed to be getting better. However, when I had a look at her back she has something hard and pointy poking from inside her skin. She is eating, drinking and pooping fine and can now stand on a low perch and has tried to fly but can't do so very well. I am just wondering if anyone knows anything about this and if there is anything I can do for her.
