Hi All.......Found this little guy wandering around my back yard thismorning. I realized he couldn't fly when I let the dogs out and he ran and hid behind a planter on the patio.
He was very easy to catch. I am glad I found him before the next door neighbor's two cats did. These cats are always lurking around looking to get a pigeon.
He is now in a soft lined pet carrier. I have supplied seed and water. He is eating and drinking.
I have examined him as best as my experience allows.
His eyes are clear and he is alert. His vent is clear. His poops appear normal. He appears well nourished. No prominent keel. His mouth, tongue and throat are pink and clear, no signs of canker. His body is clear and no signs of cuts or bleeding. There does not appear to be any broken bones.
His left wing droops below his tail. He lifts his right wing only. It seems like the left wing is paralized. I spread the wing and there are no apparent signs of injury nor are there any missing feathers.
Other than offering supportive care, I am lost as to what else to do. I DO NOT HAVE ANY MEDS WHATSOEVER. For the time being I am keeping him clam, warm and in a safe place just observing to see if there is any change in his condition.
Any ideas as to what can be wrong with him????? or any suggestions as to what else I can do???
