Georgie laid two eggs in March (on the 24th and 26th) and after the second egg she had post egg-laying paralysis in her legs which she’s had in the past. Usually, after a few days Georgie is better, however, this time I was worried that she was struggling with the condition so I decided to take her to the vets for a check up. Since Georgie gets terribly car sick I thought it best to take her to the vets in our town, Tunbridge Wells, instead of driving 40 minutes to the avian vet in Maidstone.
I took Georgie to the vets I work for, Culverden Veterinary Group, and she made an impression. She didn’t peck anyone, even when a bright light was shone in her eyes! Amazing!! Here’s their Twitter tweet about Georgie girl:

“Georgie the pigeon visited TW with her owner recently. We hope her leg’s on the mend!”

Georgie is fine now, after the care from the vets, but she did throw up in the car even with only a 5 minute drive. Poor girl. I don’t think she’ll ever feel good in the car.
Good to read that Georgie is well
Thanks, Neil!
Glad to hear Georgie is doing well! Sending warm thoughts your way Georgie and Revati
Hi Amie, thank you for your comments!!
Hvae you tried covering it with a dark cloth or blanket (be it a black one)? It should work some wonders on it as far as i know
Lovey-Dove sends his love and prayers for Georgie!
Hi Erik, I have tried this and it doesn’t seem to work. I think I’ll have to take Georgie on short car rides to get her used to the motion.
Thank you, Cara Louise!!
