Hit by car

Hey! its been a long time since I have been on this forum

Early this week I was driving to where I milk when I spotted eyes glowing in the headlights(It was 4 am). as we got closer I noticed it was a pigeon. After we pulled over I ran out and picked him up.

I was pretty sure he wouldnt make it. But I wanted to give him a chance.

His wing appeared to be broken and his crop was skinned down to a think see through layer of skin. It was like a piece of plastic wrap had been stretched tightly over his crop. I could see all the contents of his crop and it was BURSTING full.





My main concern was his crop emptying.

His wing doesnt feel like there are any broken bones. But I did a figure 8 Wrap and a body wrap b/c it was effecting his walking.

his crop was just not emptying. So I began to flush his system with Cayenne Pepper water. well it took 2 days but his crop is emptying normally now. though I have been keeping it light and just tubing Kaytee.

That said..his wing is not improving. I take it off twice a day and move his wing around and give him time with his wing unbandaged (to prevent it from getting stiff)

Still even after the swelling is down I cannot feel a broken bone. due to the holidays there has been no open vets. But I think I may know a vet about 45 min from me that may be willing to Xray his wing.(He helped me with a duck)
he will be open on monday.

I am worried it is dislocated.

any thoughts?
