Hello,
Below is the whole story. Me questions are.
1. What should I do next, will it heal?
2. Should I let him see the parents, even if they are both stressed at that time. Will it bring them together so that they will teach him how to live?
3. What is the exact X-Ray diagnosis. And what to do with it?
Thank you in advance!
Here is a video showng the whole story in a progression:
- Doves made a nest on the other side of my window:
- One of them when walks, have it's leg positioned more forward, his hand is closed and he uses it as a support. Other leg looks normal, it;s more underneath him, it's open and grabs.
- Because of his hand he fell down. It was unharmfull fall (video)
- When I pick him up, his brother already flew to his parents to the tree (sadly I haven't seen him for three days). He wanted to fly after him, I found him in the middle of the grass, sitting and squeaking, whole family gathered around him (along with the brother).
- Animal healhcare said by phone that it may be congenital and I can bring them to him, but they don't know if they will help him. Even if, I think the wouldn't give him back to me so I could let him live with family and learn. Propably they would even kill him.
- My veterinary friend helped me with X-Ray and drugs. X-Ray: "bone lysis?" of the "knee joint?". Second leg is ok.
- I'm giving him: Nutribird, Veraflox (Antibio), Aptus (Joints); Loxicom (NSAID), Probiotic, Biogreen Sodiazot (Organ protection). He doesn't eat by himself nor drink. I'm using this special syring to give him food. When I want him to drink wanter I bring the glass of water under his beak, only then he drinks.
- As I said, his leg is curled, I train with him, I straighten his toes. Sometimes he brings his bodyweight to this hand, and sometimes he opens the claws like he should do it.
- I tried to bring the leg closer to the other with the help of the pipe cleaner. I have attached it just above the ankles. When I do this, his claws grips the other claws, and he doesn't use the injured leg anymore. He curls his claws even more. So I don't do this. What else should I doo?
- During physical check of the leg. It's not swollen. It's burning and it's red. It seems to be held in place. He could not fly that time. Now he can fly in my room. Also he wants to escape from the cage.
- In the end, You can see how wild is he, and how big affection is between him and his parents, my heart is broken when I see things like this. I want to relase him, but I don't think he would make it.
