Mucky Vent Not Eating?

[bagzi]

Hello! All, I'm fairly sure this has been brought up before but as I'm new to keeping pigeons here we go again. I have a Hen King pigeon which more or less overnight has gone off Her food has a mucky vent and is just sitting hunched up, anything I can do?

hi can you post a pic of the birds droppings..but make sure the pic is of the freshest droppings from the affected bird.

 

if you take the droppings to a vet for examination,then take droppings from several birds.

 

 

if the bird has already got a dirty vent then i would say that there is an imbalance in the gut,and i would suggest having the droppings tested to be sure about the type of illness your bird has got .

sounds to me it has circo virus, very hard to treat, and think it will die within the week

could be a number of things could just be a digestive problem , but they only way to get it right is get it tested by a vet , in the case of a ill birds isolate , starve for a few days but give water with electrolytes , then feed lightly to see if improves
