skinny pigeon


I have a pet pigeon who I have adored for 3 years. She sleeps beside me, eats with me and keeps my company on those lonely nights. However I have noticed its eating patterns becoming increasingly suspicious. She cant and wont keep anything down I feel she may have an eating disorder. Im scared for her life. What do you suggest??
regards
Concerned pigeon lover

According to Chevita gmbh, http://www.chevita.com/en/pigeons/symptoms/index.php vomiting can be caused by a worm infestation or candida (thrush).

If you could get her to a vet they could establish whether her ill health is caused by one of those so that she can be treated or those two possible causes can be eliminated. Insects can be a vector for worms, so she wouldn't need to be exposed to other pigeons to get infested.
