Mild Ambulatory Paraparesis on my green cheek conure

How long will it take for my conure to recover from trauma related mild ambulatory paraparesis and how can I cater to this condition so she can recover with ease?

Hi,

This is really a discussion you need to have with the attending vet. It depends on the type/cause of injury and the extent of the injury. A vet might recommend anti inflammatories and pain medication. Recovery again depends on so many factors. The bird should be in a smaller cage so it doesn’t fall and get further injured. Lower perches and have food and water within easy reach.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
