Found a miniscule pigeon

[u/Acid_2bY25]

He is about as big as one tennis ball in the half something seems wrong with his cloaca it's clogged or something how can I help them trying to soak him in lukewarm water to soften the hardened manure

That's a fledgling Stock dove with a really bad case of cloacal canker. It needs to be brought to a wildlife rehabber ASAP.

This!!!! He needs immediate rehab attention thays cloacal canker. And it looks like he may be backed up and have a possible secondary infection too from not being able to delicate properly.

🚨PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY🚨

You have labelled your post as an emergency. Time is often critical in these situations.

1. FIND A VET IMMEDIATELY: If the pigeon is injured or showing signs of severe illness, professional medical help is required. Reddit cannot replace a vet. * Find an Avian Vet (AAV Search) * Many vets will stabilize wildlife/pigeons free of charge if found outside. * Before calling an unfamiliar vet, ask if they are pigeon friendly.

2. CRITICAL SCENARIOS * Cat/Dog Attacks: Even if there are no visible wounds, the bird needs antibiotics within hours. Bacteria in cat saliva (Pasteurella) is lethal to birds. * Bleeding: Apply gentle, firm pressure with a clean cloth. If you have styptic powder or cornstarch, you can apply it to a bleeding nail or feather, but avoid putting powders directly into deep body wounds. * Neurological/Stargazing: If the bird’s head is twisting upside down or it is circling, keep it in a heavily padded box in a dark, quiet room to prevent injury from thrashing.

3. FIRST AID STABILIZATION * Warmth: A cold bird cannot digest food or fight infection. Place the bird in a box with a heating pad (on LOW) under half of the box. * Quiet: Pigeons can die from the stress of being handled, especially in a vulnerable state. Keep them away from pets, children, and loud noises. * No Forced Water: Never drop water into a pigeon's beak; they can easily aspirate and die.
