Hi I have a 6 year old lutino cockatiel named Squeaker and unfortunately due to a stupid mistake I've made, she got attacked by my cat. It's not life-threatening, at least I don't think so. But she has a long scratch down one of her sides.
It's pretty deep but didn't puncture her body cavity. I've put triple antibiotic ointment on it for now but I can't have her seen till tomorrow morning and it happened last night. She's acting like her normal self for the most part, just more subdued then usual. She can still fly and everything and she's still perching. She's not trying to pick at the wound much but I'm a little worried about how much ointment she's ingesting considering how little she is. It says on the tube not to ingest it. Am I worried over nothing?
