  • A particularly beautiful feral pigeon who arrived extremely ill from intestinal parasites

    Species:
    • Feral Pigeon
    Age: Adult
    Sex: We thought Blossom was female at first, hence the pretty name, but actually it looks like he's male. Sorry, Bloss!
    History:

    Blossom was spotted in the garden of one of our regular pigeon finders looking very unwell

    Diagnosis:

    Blossom had severe coccidiosis which caused diarrhoea and crop stasis. He was extremely unwell for many weeks and we nearly lost him a few times.

      Blossom was doing so well we moved him to one of our larger cages but he started to lose weight again. I checked his poop yesterday and found he still has some coccidia despite over a month of treatment. It can sometimes be very stubborn to clear. So he'll be having another course of medication to make sure it's all gone for good.
