Very sick Collared Dove

[amyable]

Hi,

When I first saw this bird in the aviary I thought it was an injury to the eye.
It's one eye is gunged up and it has no vision from this one.
Other eye looks ok.

Someone thought it might have been cat caught, but I really have no definite info on it's background.

On getting it home, I've put it on heat and started it on Noroclav (Synulox).

While I was treating it I noticed it has a 'wet' noise when it's breathing. Once relaxed in it's box I can't hear it, so it's obviously worse when stressed.

I've been reading up to try and find a diagnosis. The symptoms of Ornithosis seem to fit which is a bit worrying, but there could be other causes of these problems.

Any thoughts and suggestions on possible treatment would be appreciated.

Thanks

Janet
