Last Wed. when I came home at lunch time I noticed one of my pigeons looked very sick. Whitey looked lethargic and seemed to be vomiting. I wrapped him in a towel and went straight to the animal hospital about 1/2 hour from here. After X rays and an exam, the doc thinks he has an infection in his digestive system. He also says he has to be kept somewhere where the temp is around 65 degrees for about 5 days. I have to give him 5 MI of Emeraid two times a day for 3 days, and 0.4 ml of an antibiotic once a day for ten days. So for the past 5 days Whitey has been living in a cat carrier which is sitting on an old radio next to the window. He just hangs out looking at the outside world through the holes in the cat carrier. He ate a bit of feed yesterday, and is looking much better. I will put him back with the rest of the birds today at lunch time. Keeping my fingers crossed.
