Hattys sore wing

Posted: May 18, 2024 in News

This here is Hatty and it’s fairly obvious what is wrong with her! The wonderful team at Penmellyn Vets St Columb did a great job assessing her wing, including taking an X-ray to ensure no broken bones – you can see quite a bit of soft tissue swelling around the elbow joint. She is currently having her wing strapped (photo taken during a break to allow her to stretch and bath) and is on a course of anti-inflammatories/painkillers in an attempt to reduce the swelling so she can regain use of her wing. She is regularly reviewed by our vet who, like us, is quietly optimistic that if we can get the swelling under control she will have a good chance at release!
