I have a baby ringneck dove and he was attacked by what I think a cat. His sibling was killed and he is the only one left and he is injured really bad. He has a chunk of meat missing from his breast area and I wanted to know if anyone knows what I could do to hopefully save him.. He has made it threw the night and seems alert but I am sure he is in pain. I bath his wounds at least 3 times a day just to make sure it stays clean so no infection can start but is there any thing else that I can do to insure his survival. He is 1 and a half months old. Please help me help him
:confused:

I responded to this very thing you asked in another thread. This is an emergency, even though it made it through the night it needs to be seen by an avian certified vet.

At most you'll be out a few dollars.

we'll keep the little bird in our prayers.
