Hey. Yesterday my parrot flew and reached in the street. At once a cat arrived and snatched her from mouth. Luckily someone managed to get the parrot back from the cat having no wound or any sort of injury on the body of the parrot. The main reason for asking you is thAt she is not eating well and becoming sleepy.. I'm very much afraid. I can't think to lose her. Please please help me ASAP.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear about Mithwing's accident. Cats can be very dangerous to parrots, and I'm sure it was a scary situation. Be very sure that she doesn't have any puncture wounds on her body as cat saliva contains a lot of bacteria that can be toxic to birds. While it is possible that Mithwing is just very stressed from the incident, she could also have some internal injuries that you can't see. If she does not eat or return to acting like her normal self within the next 12 hours, I strongly suggest that you bring her to a veterinarian immediately. She may need an x-ray to see if she has any broken bones (broken ribs are common and can be very painful) or internal bleeding. In the meantime, keep her warm and calm, and offer her favorite foods to entice her to eat. Good luck, and I hope that Mithwing feels better soon!
