Bruno thank you for all your Research and letters and info sharing well done also to Hyacinth prestonp/blast and Jimmy White not only informatibve but factual and a great resource for all fanciers ...time to mobilise ...what do we pay our unions for take it to club and fed /region level lets get people talking and lets ensure folk are clued up and ready to counter rumours or any unfair treatment. Thanks Guys

: :B :B :B err that you should be panic not panis

Yes I take the point Bruno but the WHO doctors know its the beaucrats. Its about panis for me and just taking radical action if it flies and has feathers kill it is my worry. We will see what Europe does ..thank goodness we are an Isalnd gives a bit odf space if the Migrating Birds get to europe first

My difficulty is that the Government dont take a tempered view and will probably order a wholesale slaughter of everythinhg Avian

The WHO are not always right ..been using anti malaria drugs in |Africa which are not effective inthat the strain has become immune

My difficulty is that the Government dont take a tempered view and will probably order a wholesale slaughter of everythinhg Avian

Dont know but there is evidence that other animals are infected and wild Birds AND HUMANS DIED IN ASIA

I am the only person concerned about the avian flu epidemic. Reports indicate that it is headed to Europe. Look at the restrictions already in place by the Dutch. Our Government were drastic over Foot and Mouth and that does not kill Humans. I believe that Pigeons would be in the cull. I wondered what other folk felt and that perhaps Johhnysfarm, Hyacinth slugmonkey etc and anyone from Europe could let us know what is happening

I dont know about other but I absolutely hate Tow law ...glad to see it might not be a race point next year. what are other experience of Tow Law for me its a horrible racepoint

No probs Bruno ...good article tho' and v interesting

Speckled, I object to being called a bleedin dumpling, the Guy is not racing and desperately wants to save his bird. i would not normally advise baytril and you are right that it does not kill Viruses (nothing does) however it can keep the system well, not allowing secondary infections. Enteritis is generally bacterial I am led to believe, so the probiotic will purge the bad bugs and the probiotic or natural yoghurt will replace the gut/intestines with good bugs. Small seed eating little and often garlic etc all good stuff

Stephanie try giving it some water and even lentils.broth mixture if you have it

Baytril at the Vets then a Probiotic, try honey and electrolytes as well

I would suggest that since this is a new board that we all try and ensure that we dont get into the same crap re Scottish politics as the last pigeon politics thread. As Gez says it is boring and going nowhere and there really is little more to be said. ;D ;D ;D
