She is fine today samwiseg, the micropore has stayed on despite her trying desperately to get it off!!! She's got some GA in her water today and will have some in tomorrow too. Won't do any harm.

Took the micropore off the two days ago and Missy's wing looks really good. Still a little bit of blood staining, but she is leaving it alone now, whereas before she picked off the scab and made it bleed, then she kept on at the micropore and got most of it free enabling me to remove the last bit.

That looks and sounds like a good ending.

Hopefully that will be the last we hear of that saga, Shirls, and not because we don't care, but for yours and Missy's sake.

For heavens sake!!!! How long is this going to go on!!! Missy has picked at her wound and made it bleed, yesterday! She had blood all over her face and on her wing of course. I had to wash her face and she is now swathed in micropore, again!! (Not her face but her wing!)

Naughty Missy. Stop picking at your wound.

Do you think that Missy might be picking at the scab because the wound is healing and therefore itching. I don't know if that happens with budgie skin. My thinking is that everytime you put micropore on it will stop the scab forming hard. I really think the Elizabethan collar would be the way to go. Could you make one from thin card and sticky tape? It needn't be a long duration thing.

Micropore does let the air through OP as far as I know, and I'm sure the wound had healed up before. I think she just got a little agressive with her preening and opened it all up again.

Of course it would happen with budgie skin OP , they're not aliens They may not be aliens but their skin is of a different make up to ours. I know sometimes when a wound is healing it can itch like hell, so I was wondering if that happened with Missy.
