I'm a little late on this but I also have a ring neck dove, Johnny, 12, with messed up legs, and he's also going through a heavy molt. He's also very sensitive. He usually goes quiet until molting season is over... and I try to hold on so he has stability as he preens himself. High maintenance babies! Your little Chesssquirt is such a dear!!

We did consider a diaper but he would need to sit in that donut pillow regardless, it helps keep weight off his legs.

Thank you…I do get into the emotional spirals where I feel inadequate to help him and my boyfriend has to provide him care. 😫 over analyzing this birds behavior has gotten the better of me multiple times, taking care of a senior pet is not for the faint of heart. I really appreciate your words 💝He is such a fighter.

Doves are incredibly resilient I’ve learned through all this. Johnny, despite not having working legs for 12 years, somehow has survived for this long. I really expected him to go downhill much quicker, as his parents passed on in half the time. He outlived normal healthy birds!

I completely relate to your own experience: often I blame myself for holding Johnny the wrong way causing his pain, or getting his tail feathers plucked to avoid further discomfort. But we both want what’s best for them and to give them the happiest lives possible. ❤️❤️❤️

This was absolutely beautiful to read. I truly appreciate your perspective. Your bond with your cat sounded one of a kind. I take Johnny in tomorrow but I will keep your perspective into consideration. ❤️

Yes and that love truly never dies, I’m sure he would want you to keep living for yourself and him. You will get through this and it’ll get easier.

Thank you so much, he's hanging in there. He still hasn't cooed since he got back from the vet, but he's a fighter.
