New Post. Person needs help


The following post is in the thread titled "Baby Pigeon not doing so good". I just want some one besides me to see it and help this person out.





hello,i rescued a young pigeon 4 days ago.i can tell that its a baby because of the wispy down on its head,it is rather grown up with adult feathers all over its body except on its head and it cannot fly yet. Eye problem-------- yesterday i noticed that one of its eye had gone bad,it looked healthy before. the bad eye is closed and has been swelling from yesterday, so that it is now protruding .the eyelids are now slightly reddish and there is a line of harden yellow stuff(pus?) between them. the pigeon does not seem to be able to open that eye.however, its other eye is fuctioning normally. what can i do? wash its eye with salt water?will it heal on its own? another thing is that its poop has been alternating between watery brown and watery green although i have not been changing its diet of cooked rice and oats. i just place the food in a container for it--is this the correct way?will i need to control the amount of food i give so that it does not over-eat? will you please give me some advice? thank you!

Hi Lovebirds,

I just created a new thread for it, when I noticed he/she had already got a thread going (puffed up eye thread).
