Help New dove found

[SugarChick]

I found a zebra dove that is limping but can kinda fly. She appeared to be choking and upon inspection found she had a lump of seeds lodged in her throat. I have removed most of it and she is no longer gasping for breath. Anyway any suggestions? She can’t walk on one foot. No breaks just seems very weak.

Also what to name her?

Well done on dislodging the seeds! It's a beautiful dove. I'd put her in a pet carrier or dog crate for a few days to let her recuperate. Give her plenty of clean fresh water in bowl at least an inch deep and some canary/budgie seed like millet and corn if you don't have pigeon or dove feed. You can also give layers pellets for a short time if necessary. Can you see any injuries to her leg? Is it broken? What are your plans for this dove? Do you just want to get it better and release or are you hoping to keep it? The former maybe better unless you have a setup.

I sadly have to report that there was a lump at the base of her throat that prevented any one the seeds or mash that I gave her from going down. She did drink but was to weak to survive the night. Her leg jut seemed crippled. Not broken

Oh no. That's so sad. Atleast you did what you could for her.

Good for you for trying. Sorry she didn't make it.
