Injury.

(Minsk, Belarus)

Hello. My budgie's leg has been sprained for 1 week and it doesn't seem to heal. He moves it to the side, tries not to stand on it and limps. When he sits on perches he's alike sitting down lower and lower, bending his legs and actually touching the sprig with his belly. Few times I found him sitting in the bottom of the cage in the such position.

We give him the homeopathic vet medicine for injuries and vitamins now. His cage is in the kitchen, it's usually warm in here, but we heat at night his cage. Budgie does well himself: he tweets, talks, eats a bit less than usually, but normally. But his leg..i'm so worried and disappointed about it.

How long does it take to treat bird's leg as usual? What shoud I do now? Can I accelerate this? Help me please, I couldn't find really good vets in my city, let alone avian vets and I'm absolutely confused about by poor budgie.( And I'm beforehand sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker)
