Dove choking. Need help fast.

[The Duck Ladie]

So there's a teenaged dove we found and have been keeping for a little while. Fed him some worms and now he is choking. Need help fast what should I do?!

Keel compression, carefully, don't break the bird. Hold him upside down. Get to a vet.

Getting that out of the way, is this a wild dove? Earthworms(?) aren't an appropriate meal for a dove, especially if it's just a baby that still needs mom's crop milk.

Also, if it's a native species (like a mourning dove), it needs a rehabber that can teach it how to be a proper dove.

Keep us updated please.

 

[The Duck Ladie]

Yes. No Waxworms.

I'm afraid it is to late. He's gone.

I'm afraid it is to late. He's gone.

I'm sorry.

de-breast it, stuff with a slice of jalepeno and cream cheese, wrap in bacon, grill over a bed of nice orange coals, and thank the good Lord for the gift bestowed upon you.

Oh no. I'm sorry, man. : (
