BROKEN LIMBS.
In case of bad fractures or injuries it is perhaps best for all
concerned to end the trouble by killing the bird. If a valuable bird
breaks a leg, a slender splint of wood wrapped in a slight wisp of
cotton and held by a bandage may be applied with care. This
support must not be touched for two or three weeks, but then it may
be removed entirely. When the break occurs in the lower leg (tarsus)
a small quill makes a simple support. The quill is split and cut down
until it fits snugly around the part affected. It is then padded inside
with a few shreds of cotton and tied carefully in place with silk
thread.
Broken wings should be allowed to heal without outside
interference. All high perches should be removed from the cage, and
food and water made easily accessible. A bird with a broken wing
must be kept as quiet as possible in order that the fracture may heal.
RESPIRATORY TROUBLES.
The fact that canaries are injured by cold drafts can not be too
strongly emphasized, and it may be said that a large proportion of
their common ailments come from such exposure. In many cases
exposure is followed by congestion in the intestinal region, and death
ensues in a very short time. In ordinary colds there is difficulty in
breathing and some liquid discharge from the nose. Frequently this
is accompanied by coughing. A bird thus affected should be kept in a
warm room free from all drafts and protected from irritating dust,
vapor, or tobacco smoke. The symptoms are increased as the cold
progresses and becomes acute, and the bird sits with feathers
puffed out, seeming really ill. Breathing is difficult and rapid. If there
is enough catarrhal secretion partly to block the respiratory passages
a slight bluish tint is noticed beneath the transparent sheath of the
bill. As a remedy, place in the drinking cup 1 ounce of water to which
have been added 20 drops of sirup of tolu, 10 of sweet spirits of
niter, and 10 of glycerin.
Pneumonia in cage birds often follows exposure and is nearly
always fatal. The symptoms, rapid and difficult breathing with little
catarrhal discharge, appear suddenly. The bird becomes very weak
at once and usually dies in from two to seven days. Little can be
done beyond sheltering the bird, as noted above, and providing an
easily assimilated food, as egg food and bread moistened in milk.
Asthma is a chronic affection, in which there is difficulty in
expiration of air in breathing. In severe cases a contraction of the
abdominal muscles is evident in forcing the air from the lungs.
Asthma is more in evidence at night, and often birds apparently free
from it during the day will wheeze when at rest. There is practically
nothing that can be done for it. Sometimes a semblance of asthma is
caused by indigestion from overeating. Fanciers consider asthma
hereditary and do not recommend birds so affected for breeding
purposes.
INTESTINAL COMPLAINTS.
For the benefit of those who may wish further information on the
care of canaries a short list of standard works on the subject is
appended. (None of these is available for free distribution by the
United States Department of Agriculture.)[4]
