I took Pigeon to my old vet this morning. I needed a second opinion because a few days ago, Pigeon started failing rapidly. He stopped eating, he was so lethargic that when I put him into the bedroom to keep an eye on him, he laid in the exact position I put him in all night. In the morning, when I tried to get him to eat- instead, he expelled on the floor mounds of mucous that was so slimy and sticky all coming from his rectum.

My old vet said that Pigeon’s digestive tract is all out of wack. He gave me some appetite stimulant that you rub into the ears because he said if his suspicions were correct, Pigeon wouldn’t be able to swallow any size of pill. I asked him what he thought it was, but he said he would reserve his opinion until the bloodwork came back tomorrow morning.

The first thing Pidge did when he got home was expel more of this mucous-like  substance on the floor- (reminded me of the movie The Blob), it was so gelatinous and slimy and large. The only difference was the blob he expelled wasn’t black. He is getting extremely lethargic, refusing even the tastiest of treats even with the stimulant on board.I am supremely worried about my boy.

**At 2:00 a.m. Pigeon still hadn’t eaten one bite, so I gave him some meloxicam for pain. Within the hour, he made his way over to the bowl and chowed down on some dry food. I only had a little bit of the pain/anti-inflammatory left, so I need to call the vet this morning and see if he will credit me with another bottle. Pigeon is still flat this morning- but he is at least eating.
