Back from the vet - got the flagyl and have given the little guy his first dose. It's to be done twice a day for 14 days. Any idea on how soon I may see some improvement?
The nustatin had to be ordered and I will soon have that. I am giving up the vet's antibiotics and will go forward with plameh's suggestions - will seek out the medicines tomorrow. Will continue to give the calcium, too. He's eating a little on his own. After about the 8th piece of food, he starts to spit out. I have also been giving him small doses of the baby formula. He continues to drink some water. Mindy had it right when she said that you guys know all about pigeons. Thank goodness! You all are life savers - truly. I will keep you posted.

i usually see improvement in a few days, then you can start to take some q-tips and dip them in diluted betadine, dilute so it looks like tea, dab it on a paper towel and gently swab the lesions in his throat once a day, they will start to pop off, be very very gentle, if you see any blood, stop.
when the betadine mixes with blood it gets really dark so check each time you swab, i usually use a bunch if the canker starts to come out, just be gentle

Once a bird starts the canker medicine the canker crustations come off all on their own. Really, removing them before they are ready can cause a bleed so do not do it.

Sorry the little bird didn't make it. I, like many others, was following the thread, even if we don't always post.

I'm so sorry he didn't make it. We've all been there and you need to know that you did the best you could.
