My cat bit my parakeet, is there anything I can do to treat at home2007-11-24 17:24:25Answers:

No. take her to the vet. Cats have bacteria in their bite that can severely harm a human. let alone a little bird. Your bird may have to go onto antibiotics for a while.

hope this helps.

no there is nothing you can do but you need to take him to the vet. It can die from just the smallest scrach from a cat.

the cat is probably hungry, feed it

Because of the bacteria in a cat's saliva, even a harmless looking bite could kill your 'keet in a few days. You need to take it to the vet as soon as possible, he will probably prescribe some antibiotics and your bird should be fine as long as its not a bad bite. If your bird is bleeding, try to stop the blood and wash the wound as best you can(you can use an antiboitic wipe or something, but not neosporin as the bird would probably ingest some of it.) and keep your bird far away from your cat so it won't be stressed. That's probably all you can do at home, but take it to the vet as soon as you can.

Can you explain what kind of injury the parakeet suffered? It could make all the difference between home care and emergency care.

Broad spectrum antibiotics are sold at almost every pet store that carries bird products. They can be administered preventatively. That being said, birds frequently get sick and die in the same 24 hour span. If you have an emergency vet line (check in phone book), call them, describe the injury and ask for first aid and treatment advice.
