My parrot was out side in his cage yesterday and a fox came along and tried to attact him. he obviously caught him cause there was blood all over his foot.
i noticed the claw was also missing (i have just found it out side)
his foot is pretty swollen and looks a bit raw. what i want to know is will his claw grow back?
the inside part is still there, this is where im assuming most of the blood came from. my parrot is not friendly enough to let him touch him so i cannot inspect him to find out if he has other wounds.
so does anyone know if his claw will grow back?
Answers:
i would suggest taking him to the vet so he can be checked properly especially if you cant examine him he might have injuries you can see
His claw will not grow back. You need to get him to a vet as it could get infected. Your parrot is quite lucky to have survived!
Take it to the vets and get some antibiotics , foxes carry a lot of nasty deceases !!
Take him to the vet or you are looking at certain death. Why would anyone leave a parrot outside unattended? Shame on you... now get him to the vet before the infection of the wound kills him.
Hi. If your bird's foot looks sore, you should take him to an Avian Vet. He might get an infection, and that could be fatal for him.
If your bird survives his ordeal, you may want to consider being a little more careful in the future, by not leaving him unsupervised and vulnerable to predators.
take him to the vet for a good check up . might need an injection . poor little parrot . best to do it quickly as could get an infection . ah bless
Take him to the vet immediately.infection could set it and you owe it to the bird ..you NEVER leave a parrot outside unattended. Please care enough for him to take him to the vet before he loses his foot from some infection..maybe you can prevent this...
I assume you are in the UK. I looked up two avian vets for you. It is worth while to take him to an AVIAN vet instead of a regular one because they specialize in parrots.

I don't know how bad the foot is damaged but if his claw is all the way off the tissue is probably damaged enough that it will never grow back. To stop the bleeding you should use pressure to the area to enhance the chance of the blood to clot. Flour can also help.
Put him in a carrier with a towel and keep him warm and still. Avoid putting water in the carrier until you get him to the vet as it could spill.
You are required to get him to the vet within 12 hours as he may have broken bones you haven't seen and he will need to be on an antibotic.
You must take him to an avian vet asap, he could get an infection that could kill him.
