Pigeon throat bulge/lumpHello! My pigeon is about 2 months old and has just recently learned to fly. He was fine up until he was about two months, and then this small bulge appeared in the middle of his throat. I thought maybe i was seeing things, so i ignored the problem. Now it's about a week later and the lump in my pigeon's throat is considerably larger and slightly more off to the right of his throat. It looks very akward on him, but it doesn't seem like he is in any sort of pain from it (not that i can actually tell). Also, the pigeon is eating and swallowing fine. Any ideas as to what this lump may be...? Or what it might be caused by...?

What color is the lump? Yellow? White?
Also, does it appear to be fleshy/under the skin, or does it look more like cheese that you could scrape off? Sounds like it could be either canker or pox. Another sign to look for is the inside of the mouth smelling bad.

What are some cures for Trichomoniasis? I looked it up based on what you said and came across this. I'm sure this is why my pigeon has. Any ideas on what i could do to help cure it? I have been planning on going on vacation tomorrow, and i wanted something i could put in his food or get quickly and have someone else give to him. Basically anything that does not require going to the vet for is do-able. Any ideas? I really don't want my pigeon to die! Thank you all so much!

For canker we give Fishzole pills. I'm not sure that you'd be able to find metronidazole products anywhere but online pigeon supply stores or at the vet. In the meantime, I'd give him some apple cider vinegar in his water, 2 tablespoons per gallon.
I'll go find you some links on canker meds.

Here's what I got. I've found that some of the medications these stores carry, can be found at pet stores or places like Tractor Supply. But I don't know if they'll carry canker medicine:

Hi there,
I see you are in Burton. I'm not very far away at all, in Ortonville. I have spartrix tablets and flagyl which are both for treatment of canker and you can have some of either or both. I work in the opposite direction, and see that you are going away tomorrow...so if possible we'll have to try and connect tonight?! I'll PM you if you are still online. Or you can PM me back.
