Unhappy Big scare tonight..

I let my cockateil out today, let her fly around a bit. Later, I let my dogs in and forgot the bird was out. The dogs followed me and I gave them some attention and later I hear some noise from the other room. I jump up and go to check it out and my dachshund has my bird in his mouth on the floor. I hit the roof! The dog runs off and the bird is laying there, raising hell, and spotting blood on the floor! The bird is bleeding, I pick it up and it bleeds in my hands I just know this bird is gonna die. I take it to an emergency vet. The bird is going to live, I think. I didn't know a bird could bleed that much and live. Lucky dog... thats all I got to say. I never wanted the bird, I actually wished it would die soon when I first got it but now I've had it for over 10yr. I'd miss it at this point. Lucky dog, is all I gotta say, I would have had to either give him away or dig a hole.

I let the dogs in when I got back from the vet, the other dog went over and started licking up the blood off the floor.
