Peter has an ouchie, will it be okay? Scratched cere

[Ace Aster]

So Peter and I were playing when he was frightened by my father coming home, in his "scared" flight he did an oopsie and bumped face first into a wall. He now seems to have a scratch on his cere and while I don't recall it bleeding, it is still a bit red. Do ya'll think he'll be okay if we don't take him to the vet? I gave all my savings and some of my college money to Puff's hospital bills so we don't really have the funds to go back right now. Any advice is good, thanks!

Ceres heal, but keep an eye on it; make sure it stays clean and uninfected.

[Ace Aster]

Thank you, i'll do that then. Another thing is he's been scratching his neck area a lot since he returned from the hospital, is it possible he got infected with mites or something while he was there? or is it just a new cleaning habit of sorts?

[Hezz]

I doubt it would be mites. He probably has some pin feathers digging into him.

[Ace Aster]

Okay! That makes me feel a lot better, thank you.

Recently Peter has been a lot more temperamental and currently has a bothersome loose wing feather thats ready to fall off. Considering he hasn't gotten hurt since it makes a lot of sense that he probably started moulting and that must be why he's been scratching a lot too.

Update, the feather finally fell off and has a bit of blood on it. He doesn't seem to be bleeding still but I cant check for sure without picking him up. NGL i'm a little worried.

Checked and he seems pain/blood free! We good peeps!
