Hi all, we have a young pigeon that had string injury to both feet. One foot became completely necrotic and fell off, and the other has mostly necrotic toes and swelling. May have bumblefoot but we are not 100% certain. We have been treating with 20mg amoxicillin for two weeks given it was a...

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...

Hello, I have been feeding local pigeons for 2 years and yesterday I noticed one of the pigeons had his eye closed half way and he had trouble opening it. Today it is completely closed and he can not open it, it is covered with some type of discharge, I am not sure what it is. The other eye is...

Hello, there is a young 3 month old female feral pigeon living outside my window who was born here and decided to stay. She typically leaves for a few hrs in the morning but is here about 70% of the day and always at night. She also has a boyfriend who moved in a few weeks ago. 2 days ago she...

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...

About a month ago I noticed bottom of a pigeon is completely wet. Her anus was swollen and red. Please look at the picture bellow. I took her to vet. She gave some medicine (I forgot names). But there was no improvement. I took her again and this time she gave Peflox (antibiotic) 1gm/day and...

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...

I own six homing pigeons and one of them has recently hurt its leg. I took a close look and is seems as if it is her heel. It can not use to leg very much at all, especially to walk. I will include a few pics to show the size. If you have any idea on how to fix this it would much appreciated...

I've been followin this forum anonymously for a while, reading up on things to know because I have my own pigeon, and now, I need to call to you for help. Just today, i realized that her anus is, completely swollen and red, it even looks like its outside of her... it looks like a big red button...

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...

Possible Pigeon Pox, maybe mites, Help please! I went to my coop today to find that one of my breeding females has sores around her eyes and a few on her nostrils above her beak. She does not seem to be in any discomfort but it definitely has me worried. I've seen pox in other species of birds...

My mother has 2 ringneck doves. The female has been acting weird for awhile. For several weeks now the condition seems to have remained the same. The bird has been lethargic, but still able to fly up and down the levels in my mom's apartment, but mostly just sitting around puffed up with some...

For a while outside of Woolworths at a bakery at my local shopping center there is a small flock of Rock doves which often get food from people sitting outside having a cup of tea and such, one of them has its feathers rather ruffled up most of the time, and limps around it's foot is somewhat...
