Got any idea what this is?

[SPAR 2]

checked bird over today and found a growth like lump on her wing looks an oldish wound no redness not infected but it looks bigger than it is.

I thought it might be a thorn wound or something (3mm wide) no way she has been shot either still flys ok.

[SPAR 2]

I did think that Chris but I cant see how, not damp in the mews, never put away wet, plastic up the front of the mews free-lofted and yes there was a heater it there as well

[SPAR 2]

Above the elbow 1" no blister just a hole looks dry and clean quite hard with no heat (normal temp)

[SPAR 2]

06 bird plastic top to bottom with about 4" from top on the front out of wind.

No droopy wing etc fine in herself flies ok.

Will by-pass to the vets this week anyway.

Could well be Wingtip odeoma/Bursitus. some when Bowed in open pens in the frost will also suffer with frost bite of the wings, I would still use some Iodine and perhaps some broad spectrums Antibiotics like Antirobe or Marbocyl if you can get some....

 

In the past when I wanted the Iodine to stick I would mix it 50/50 with some Vaseline wiping it up until its black and pack it round the wound, you'll find it sticks alot longer around the wound area this way....

 

Hopefully its none of the above and just a small injury but It doesn't look good....

Best pictures I can get

wing tip oedema mate or another version of it is dry gang green ithink its called. check to see if theres any flesh missing or rotted away. hows her/his flying doin, is there any difference as youve noticed. frosty weather does it to birds especially when they have got wet.

[SPAR 2]

When they is a hard frost nothing is safe unless it's 3ft above the ground .. so im told ..

millet

 

If it is WTO nothing is safe, her perches are a good 4ft from the ground

will find out what it is tomorrow anyway

[SPAR 2]

Cheers mate better safe (ish) than sorry

Just wondered how quick it takes to spread, worst in cold weather or spead quicker in warm weather.

[gsi2000stokie 5]

that will be it now SPAR it shouldn't spread, mine got a secondary infection which i never knew was coming, the drugs nowadays are a lot better than then too. think in them days everything was treated with synulox and it either fixed or killed.

 

chris.

chaos is right mate this new kestrel i got had it and the meds are cracking. the guy i had her off a few months back said it was her moult but a close inspection of her wings showed the exact same as the pics there. i got all heating running through my mews to prevent it and it works fine. keeps all 4 mews 4degrees above freezing. hope shes okay for ye matey.

[SPAR 2]

Cheers bud, heaters are running over night til about 10'ish until it starts warming up anyway 2KW heaters kills my electric pill.

Alright fella, so what did the vet have to say about Abi's wing?

[SPAR 2]

Sorted!!!!!!!well better news should I say its not WTO but a thorn which was just underneath the skin and started to swell hense the black dot in the middle of the groth, she had a full MOT while she was there found bumble foot on 1 toe not enough to worry about at the moment so the vet said but she has been put on a course of Marbocyl for 10 days just as back-up.
