Help! 10 minutes ago Molly swallowed a baby bird. The bird was part of a nest under our roof, two other birds died earlier today, but my husband managed to pick up those, before Molly saw them.
But before when we came out to check on her in the garden, she carried another small bird in her mouth. We are sure there are no diseases, they simply died from the heat these days.
We tried to lure her to throw the bird away and eat meatballs instead, but she tricked us and swallowed both. We called the vet, he said not to worry, the baby birds have no real bones yet, and the remains will get out the natural way. But still! We ARE worried. We will of course check on her breathing, and if she vomits etc. Any good advice? Should we just let time pass?
