Yes I just returned from the vet maby a half hour ago, he was very nice to me and helped alot. He quizzed me on the care of the pigeon, I guess to make sure im taking good care of it. He said the bird has canker and gave me some liquid Metronidazole and told me to give .6 ml to the bird once a day for 10 days. Then he should be better.

Thank all of you who helped me and especially Reti for telling me of the vet.

quite note on the canker medication, it's generally used as an anti-protozoan against Canker.

(yes, metronidazole is also an anaerobic antibiotic, but we're not using it for that here.)
