Ringnecked Dove
This little ringnecked Dove was brought to me on Saturday 27th March.. it was found in the morning on someone's lawn looking very very sad. Nasty wound on the top of its head, very angry-looking, swollen and infected. Treated the wound with colloidal silver and tried to clean it up a bit. The bird's left eye was covered over in blood and had a feather sticking in it. Today I cleaned that eye up with saline solution and worked that 'crust' off... the eye is there and I think is undamaged but still very sore looking and the head is still swollen. First 2 photos are when I first got her and last 3 I took today... I hope this plucky little bird survives this! Such a sweet little gentle bird.
