What’s wrong with my dove


My beautiful dove was fine yesterday. But today won’t eat and is very puffed up. He’s drinking a little . He looks at his food . Tries a couple of seeds and just gives up. He’s very lethargic and not flying much although his flight is still home. He threw up some seed earlier. His poop is thin and thready. We have three vets in our town but none of them treat birds.


Answer:

Hi,

Unfortunately it sounds like your bird needs Vet care as soon as possible. We have no way of knowing what is wrong. Hopefully you can find a vet if you check nearby towns.

Take care,

Brenda
