INJURIES / CAT ATTACKS
UPLOADED BY MASTER LOFT
Contrary
to popular belief, pigeons are commonly caught by cats. Typical
injuries are scratches or holes under the wings or on the back with
considerable feather loss. In all cases, even if it seems recovered,
antibiotics from a vet are necessary since cat's teeth carry bacteria.
Clean the wounds with TCP, saline solution or antiseptic spray. Half an
aspirin can be given if the pigeon seems in pain. Warmth and quiet are
essential before seeking professional advice. Bells on cat's collars and
keeping pets in at night help to reduce casualties
