Question

Answer 1

yes they will go back and if there are many feathers that are not fully taken off the shaft they to will also be replaced with other feathers.

that will happen when its moulting time.

they will be shedding of their old feathers and replace them with new ones. just like clipping their wings.

and its okay if the parakeets are not hurt by the dog.

Answer 2

Yes...though be sure to keep your bird out of reach of your dog in the future!

Answer 3

yes they will grow back

Answer 4

During its next molt your bird's feathers will grow back. Make sure the feathers that are damaged do not bleed at all, or they will act like a siphon and draw blood out of them continually unless stopped with styptic powder or equivalent. (But you would have discovered blood on your parakeet by now if that were the case!)  Also, if there are any jagged edges on the feathers that remain, you may want to trim them neatly, so your parakeet will not get them snagged in the cage bars.  

Answer 5

ofcourse :]]

but just how in gods name did your friggen dog get to your bird? 0.o

Answer 6

Yes it will.

Answer 7

Never let a predator 'get' to your bird.  You are responsible for this.

IF and only IF the dog did not touch the bird's skin, might it live.  It is horribly traumatized and in shock which can kill it.

Answer 8

yes they will grow back.

Answer 9

They'll grow back, assuming the bird survives. Don't let your dog come into contact with your bird in the future; if it does, lightly rinse the area that the dog touched with lukewarm or very mildly warm water. If the skin is broken, take the bird to the vet immediately. Dogs and cats carry bacteria in their saliva that is potentially lethal to birds if it gets into the bird's system. This applies even if the bird appears to be fine afterward: offhand, I recall a story in which a person's cat got a hold of their bird, but the bird was acting fine and there wasn't any blood, so they left it in the cage. They came back two hours later and the bird was dead. Don't let this happen to your bird!
