Hi, we have a 9 year old pet (rescued) pigeon. She became sick a few days ago. Our vets (including cert. avian vet) have diagnosed a reproductive problem that has caused severe anemia and regurgitation. She has been treated with lupron, fluids, anti-inflammitory, and antibiotics. She is actually a little better today.
She has not eaten for a few days, she needs food but won't eat on her own. Is there anything I can safely force feed her? (The regurgitation has stopped at this point, and we have been able to give a few of the meds orally).
Please advise if you have experience with this. The only thing that can help more at this point is continuing to reverse the anemia, and her body needs energy to do that.
Thank you.
