where to get medicines
vets who won't see pigeons
Even if a vet will not see the pigeon in her office, she may still write a presciption for him.
compounding pharmacies
A compounding pharmacy may be able to help with things like getting an accurate smaller dose out of a larger pill or making a pill into a liquid medicine.
if you can not afford to see a vet
If you tell them what is happening, many vets will see rescue animals for free.
order online
You can order medicines from websites like mercasystems, hyperdrug, global pigeons supplies, jedds, pigeons supplies plus, or crown pet supplies.
amoxicillan
Amoxicillan is a common antibiotic used by humans. You may have some in your cupboard.
warning
Fenbendazole is not safe for pigeons. It is sometimes sold under names like "safe-guard", so always check the ingredients.
did the pigeon get worse after you gave him antibiotics?
An illness may be bacterial, fungal, or viral. A pigeon may have more than one type of illness at once. Treatment with antibiotics may cause fungal illnesses to worsen. If a pigeon is getting worse, then use your judgement if you should stop the medicine.
