My bird's wing is bleeding after dog chase. Should I see a vet?

He may have been bitten, or he may have damaged or broken a blood feather. Without a physical exam, it is difficult to say definitively. To be safe, he should be examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian. Bite wounds should be treated and broken blood feathers should be plucked to stop bleeding.
