Three weeks ago I found a magpie chick on the ground and took her home (it was a place with stray dogs and just near a circulated road). At that time appeared to be 1-2 weeks young.
Today the chick died sudden. Previously, few days ago I noticed some whitish deposits in the mouth, which advanced rapidly, in the final stage resembling some sort of gangrene. No other sign was apparent. Yesterday the bird was almost unaffected in behaviour. Last days she ate less than usual.
This morning she was depressed and unexpectedly weak, she barely could move or do anything. And an hour later she died in convulsions and contortions, she was streching her neck ahead, then turning her head toward back, wings opened. In those final moments, she eliminated some droppings of a brown color (different than the usual yellow color).
The first sign of the disease appeared more than a week (perhaps two) ago as a small white blister on the tongue. But is possible to have eat some poisonous plant or insect previous day.
Two days ago I took her to the clinic of the University of Agronomic Science and Veterinary Medicine in Bucharest where a doctor diagnosed her with incipient trichomonosis but I doubt was that, because died too fast.
Here is a photo made two days ago, when the infection was still moderate in appearance. Later (next day), the red / pink color of internal skin vanished, the mouth became white:
does anybody know what sort o disease this could be?
