Thanks to trust member Elaine MacPhail for rescuing an injured rock dove today. Elaine was working near the town centre when a rock dove walked over to her, later followed by two cats! Elaine suspected it might have been attacked by the cats so brought it over to me. It had a bleeding chest injury which I cleaned up, and then gave it some antibiotic to combat any likely infection from a cat bite. It seems content to sit in a heated brooder box with plenty of food and water, recovering from a near fatal cat encounter.

Thanks Joe, how's it doing?
Doing very well Elaine, gave the wound another wash, and another dose of antibiotic. Should make a full recovery in due course. Also released the last ducklings today, see blog update.
Brilliant on both accounts! Well done
