aspiration pneumonia


A new found pigeon with a bad case of canker seems to have now pneumonia.
I have had this pigeon-Sally-since Saturday night. She has a really bad canker and I wasn't able to get even the tiniest tube down her throat.
She has been treated with Metronidazol and Spartrix and the canker did come down, now I am able to insert a tube into the crop.

I think though yesterday while trying to hydrate her she must have aspirated some fluids.
Now, she has labored breathing with some fluids coming out of her beak and I can hear rales.


I gave her a Baytril earlier, she is on heat and I give her fluids when I see she is not urinating.


She is lethargic and I don't know what else to do to help her.
I appreciate any advice.
