hello,

Okay- I know for a fact that Gracie's wing is NOT broken now.. But something is poking her, and really irratating her under her wing.. She wont hold her wing close to her body like she should but hold it out, or if she does put her wing back right, she'll lift it up right after. she's seeing a vet this weekend, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do that would help her out prior to her vet appt. I did lift up her wing and I saw nothing.. I hate to see her sitting there in pain, if you could give me some suggestions that would be great.

Okay, first off sorry I am repling to myself alot..
But I have some new information regarding her wing.. I asked the old owner if she had been complaining about her wing when she had her. And she said yes, she told me that her wing had been like that ever since she bought her from the pet store 6 months ago.. So now knowing this, I know it can't be a feather.. Now I am thinking it is a ripped muscle or something like that..

I reserched about a ripped muscle last night and it was said that they take a VERY long time to heal.. So I guess I answered my own questions..
