It was the evening of July 3, and everything was normal until. . . Mommy and I were opening Pixie's cage for some reason, and HE FLEW OUT! The dog was out, too, and we hadn't yet started "Dog & Bird" time, and she chased him. His wings were clipped, so he could only flutter. The dog never actually touched him, but something must have gone wrong inside him, becuase when we put him back in his cage, he was standing only on one foot and pooping blood.
Mommy & Daddy said he would probably die and we could only wait and see. All of the veterinarians had gone home for Fourth of July weekend. The best thing was that I hadn't had him for long and I wasn't attached to him yet. (Now I am, though). He made it through the night!
He is a lot better now and is gripping with both feet. He stopped pooping blood and hasn't since.I am so glad!
