picked up a beautiful bird Hi, I picked up a big beautiful bird (a Bos Loerie). It's legs seem to be lame as its lying on its side all the time, but when I touch the legs or chest they respond and the muscles work. I got advice on how to treat it for shock from a retired bird "rehabilitator", she said I should give it sugar water, is that ok? Thanks for the advice Elmienhttps://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,22386,22386#msg-22386Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:31:18 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,22386,22386#msg-22386 picked up a beautiful birdhttps://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,22386,22386#msg-22386
