Little pigeon

Glad he made it through the night muddled. Dread opening these threads the next morning. Good luck on your hunt! Keep us up to date.

I know exactly what you mean Jay22,
There's no sign of Scarlet yet this morning and I'm desperately hoping it doesn't mean bad news about Teasel the hodgepig!

[Jay22]

Hopefully she is just recovering for her birthday weekend!

Well, it was my birthday night last night I'm suffering with alcohol poisoning this morning

[Nicos]

fantastic news muddled !!! ..lovely to hear he's doing fine ( ask if they can tell the sex too )

Mind you, I love the name Little Pidge

[Nannysally99]

Hope all goes well with Little Pidge, he seems to be a fighter.
Cat bites definately need antibiotics, bless him

Well, it was my birthday night last night I'm suffering with alcohol poisoning this morning

Ouch!
Full English breakfast is the only cure!

Little Pidge is at the vets.
I fear the news will not be good.

I rocked up unannounced because wherever I phoned I seemed to be fobbed off. I explained the situation and fibbed a little...I said a rescue had agreed to take him in tomorrow if I could only get him antibiotics to see him through today.
The vet was 'in surgery' and the nurse didn't feel hopeful the bird would live, even with antibiotics but said leave him here and the vet will take a look.
I pointed out that he looks better today than yesterday and that I wasn't expecting them to rehabilitate him, that all I was asking for was one fifth of a mill of Amoxicillin...then I very reluctantly left him with them in his little plant prop.
I feel rather heavy hearted which is silly I know.....selfish even as the poor thing might well be in terrible pain. I just hope they place as much value on him as they would a dog or a cat.

Well, I'll phone them at 2pm and see what they say.

Awww, that doesn't sound too good but hey, you never know. Will keep my fingers crossed for a good outcome.

[Jay22]

Any news muddled?

[Nicos]

fingers crossed xx

[muddled]

He's back!

Apparently the vet was not happy and felt he should be put to sleep.
She feels he is small, his injuries are bad and infection has already set in. However, she said that if the rescue wanted to try and save him they could so she gave him the antibiotic injection.

Oh! and wildlife treatment is not free here

BUT;
I don't care about any of that now, he's tucked up on the windowsill, quite alert and looking around and still in with a chance!

[veggiechicken]

Good on you Muddled. I hope he pulls through with all your TLC

[Jay22]

Echo what VC said muddled, fingers and everything else crossed!

[Nicos]

He???


...Little Pidge will do his best too I'm sure...hat's off to you

He deserves to survive.

She charged you! that's robbery - mine told me they had a wildlife fund, to help wild animals and the dosages were so small not to worry. That's disgusting!

Fingers crossed!
