Question
MY PIGEON IS ILL. I KNOW HE IS EITHER SUFFERING FROM PARATYPHOID OR CANKER HOW CAN I CURE HIM HE HAS LOST HIS WEIGHT A LOT. HE IS'NT ABLE WALK PROPERLY & EAT. PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer
Hi Dev,

I suggest you bring him to a veterinarian to determine if he is indeed suffering from either/both of those illnesses. Can you see yellow growths in his mouth/throat? Here is more information about paratyphoid and a list of medications that might be useful:

However, I still suggest you bring him to a veterinarian first, just to be sure.
