Hello. Something like this was never meant to be my first post, but as luck would have it...
I picked up my feral pigeon from the vet today, after he spent the better part of three days at the animal hospital.
I was wondering if someone could help me with properly injecting antibiotics into the breast muscle of a pigeon. Monday, my rescued feral pigeon, was already given his meds this morning before I picked him up so I wasn't able to be given a proper tutorial, and the vet tech seemed kinda rushed. He showed me where to inject the medicine--to the left or right of the keel bone--but I'm not sure how far to push in the needle....
Would someone mind giving me a little assistance?
(I realize that this isn't an 'intravenous' injection... I can't seem to edit the title of the post
