Post: Nearly Weaned Pigeon Ingested Slightly Soapy Formula...

Posted by Concerned on 7/05/07

I have a nearly weaned pigeon (almost fully feathered).
This morning, I was cleaning out his syringe to give him
some formula. I must not've gotten all the soap out of the
syringe, however. 1/2 way through feeding him, I noticed a
soapy looking white patch of bubbles inside the syringe. I
immediately stopped giving him the formula and gave him
some fresh, cold water.

I don't know if he actually ingested any of the soap. When
I tipped the syringe over (and held it in the position that
I do when I feed him, the soap was at the top, not near the
bottom where the formula comes out).

Am I freaking out over nothing or should I be genuinely
concerned?

Thank you.
