| Someone brought a banded pigeon into my hospital tonight.
Severe emaciation, very weak and barely able to stand. No wounds, swellings, mouth clear. Passing yellow urates only, no feces. I warmed the bird and started tube feeding watery formula with a little nutrical, small amounts every 2 hours. I didn't smell anything in the mouth initially, but when tube feeding could smell an odor. Began Flagyl. Is Flagyl once or twice a day?
At this point I've had the bird 8 hours, no improvement as yet. Should I start any other meds? | |

| Unfortunately, the bird died during the night.  | |

| For the record the bird was a NY Flying Flight, blue bar with white flights, white eyes, and head crest. It had 2 white slip on bands one on each leg numbers 739 MFCF 2009 and 739 MFC 2009. Also a yellow snap band on one leg. | |

| I am so sorry to hear about this. I was about to email Charis this morning when I read it, but then when I read it again, sad news showed up. She/He is a real angel now. | |

| Jen - I am very sorry to hear those bad news. It always gives me a bang of pain to hear that one of those angels is lost. Rest in peace - you little one and fly free forever  | |
