He does look in a poor state. I know with chickens closed watery eyes are normally a sign of some respiratory ailment. I'm not sure if this is the case with pigeons. Personally I'd be tempted to put it on a course of harkers 4in1. It treats for the more common problems they can get. Canker, worms, external parasites and coccidiosis. Have you seen any blood in its poop? That's normally a sure sign of cocci.
i saw that online i guess its worth a shot. No blood however it is very watery no solid at all. I dont think it has eaten for a while
I'd go with cocci. Harkers also do something called coxiod which is neat amprolium. You mix it with drinking water but you can also give it neat and direct to the bird. I've used it for chicks before and it worked. It's great stuff.Yes hes had a rough start
I know you will do your best but I am worried as the one I lost also came to have one eye closed toward the end. Even if there is no canker visible in the mouth it may be present in the crop or esophagus - the bird won't eat and loses weight. I did try the Avio Meds 4 in 1, but it was too late. It could possibly be a virus too. I will hope for the best.Yes hes had a rough start
but i will give it my best shot and hope for a miracle
Okay i am going to order the harkers 4 in 1 spot on just so it covers a few things it could be and it should be easy to apply.
@biophiliac yes im worried too
Have you tried force feeding thawed peas? Mine refused most strenuously. If yours will take them, that will sustain and hydrate and give him a chance. I may be too pessimistic, but I doubt a general practice vet can do much for him.
