It has a pretty nasty wound on its back and some wounds on its leg(foot and heel). The leg is warm, though not swollen, and its sticking straight out. The other leg has a small scratch/scab on the heel, but otherwise looks normal. Primaries on one wing all plucked out, I haven't found any other injuries.
I sprayed some antiseptic on the wounds and now I'm just hoping for the best. It's in a small bird carrier on my porch with some water.
A vet visit is probably not happening, sadly. Parents are against it, and we're a little short on money atm. The vets might not even take pigeons in. Is there anything I could do to help the poor bird? Any antibiotics or topical disinfectants or something? I know cat attacks can be deadly because of the pathogens they carry.
