Injured Dove HELP

Gave him more electrolytes and water, and he's getting a lot more rest. A little feather stood up from his head and he looked cute so i took a pic.

(Hi guys i never made an official update to this and idk why im srry i should have made this back in 2017, but here it is hella late anyways the last update on this)

The hole he had in his crop ended up fully closing including the skin around it after weeks of daily applying and re applying therapeutic clay and a diet of birdseed, water and raw egg. He ended up surviving and after he was fully recovered, i released him back outside. At first he seemed almost confused as to not realizing it was already his time to go back home, but a while after staying around near my house , he finally showed me his goodbyes by glances and took off. I named him Archimedes after the medics dove in tf2 btw, so now that's what i remember him by.
