Hello I feed feral pigeons in front of my flat. Few days ago I saw new pigeon near my flat. He quickly started eating with other pigeons. But I noticed big swell near his right eye which has pinkish color. Few weeks ago I wrote here about pigeon who had chlamyidia. Do you know what it is and...

Hi I'm new around here and to pigeons. I have a one week old squab with a lump on the left side of its neck that I just noticed today and I'm not sure what it is. I can't tell if it's canker, I can't get the beak open enough to see down the throat. The crop is empty and he/she is fairly...

Hi I rescued this pigeon about 3 weeks ago, actually he just appeared in our yard, I am thinking he was set free at a wedding or some sort of ceremony. He always seemed a bit weak but what I have done so far is gave him meds for worms, fleas and vitamins. Today he showed up with a swollen...

I didnt realize until now that the fact that this baby is only 1/5 the size of his brother or sister (see photo for comparison) must have been caused by a disease and I didn't check him. Now, when I looked at him, he breaths with a cracking sound, the tail is bobbing and the back is swollen...

Feeling horrible. I left two birds out together who had previously been fine and can only guess the old hen beat up the newer male. He has a pretty bruised and swollen eye now. Discovered this at 10pm when all the shops except 24 hour pharmacy were closed. I read on here that people have been...

Hello, I have a baby mourning dove that I rescued during the hurricane in NY. I successfully took care of it for a week and now it is getting ready to be weaned off formula. My question is this, today I found that the middle toe on the foot has a swelling, like a ball, at the top of the toe...

I found this site doing a search with duck leg infections, I hope someone can help me! I have some 10 day old ducklings. Their bands were left on for too long and several of them had some degree of injury from them and I feel terrible about it but I thought they were all ok. One of the...

Same old story, found a baby pigeon... His eyes were extremely swollen, he looked like ET. There was some blood on the beak, not a lot, no injury anywhere. Gave him water and vitamins, place some ice around the eyes, next day took him to the vet. As there is no discharge in the eyes, the vet...

Hey everyone! I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything but all of you have been on my mind ;). I just want to ask for any advice I can get from any of you on my bearded dragon, she has been very inactive for about a week now and a few days ago i noticed she wasn't using her left...

Here's Velvet; I'm holding him... his eye is rather inflamed and I need some advice. I first noticed this about a week and a half ago, and he was just keeping his eye half-shut once in a while. He's been on dummy eggs, and I hadn't really had a good look at this side of him until last...
