I took home this injured pigeon almost 8hrs ago. I thought it only had a broken leg but unfortunately, it has a huge open wound under its wings. I don’t have any idea what could have cause the injury tho (i’ll attach a photo below). I don’t think I could take it to the vet since i already ask the ones nearby and sadly they only caters cats and dogs.
I tried to feed him an electrolyte solution (water with a pinch of sugar and salt) but he doesn’t want to even if i put his beak on the solution. I also tried to clean his wound with a mixture of warm water, salt, and betadine.
I wanted to ask what more could I do to help this poor fella. It was actually my first time encountering this situation so I really don’t have any idea. All I did so far was just from what I’ve searched on the internet. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Here’s the photo of its wound (warning: graphic content)
