Two days ago I took in another feral. He came in for food but could barley jump into the seed container. I can't tell what is wrong with him except that he is very weak, looks very sick and now his head keeps slowly sinking down as soon as he makes an attempt in lifting it up. Last night I gave him about 10 cc of water from the side of his beak. I am also giving him Baytril.
I've made appointment with rehabbers at 1PM today but I am afraid that he is not going to make it till then. Couple of months ago I had a similar situation and that pigeon died very quickly before I could do anything. Also several days ago I found one pigeon dead on my terrace, so I am afraid there might be a virus going on around. Right now I am also taking care of two feral pigeons with PPMV. However, except for star gazing symptoms, they eat on their own and are fine otherwise. BTW, two PPMV victims I was taking care of last year have fully recovered and became a mating couple.
Any advice or suggestions for this unfortunate fellow?
