only joking reets mate, post away till your hearts content ;)

YES

The one good thing that could have come from all this awful business is that everyone now knows, for sure, that all their birds must be vaccinated every year without fail. I think that it is becoming clear that a lot of Fanciers are not bothering. If it were up to me I would have anyone caught racing pigeons without having had them vaccinated for paramixovirus banned. They have no right, legally or morally, to risk spreading this terrible disease far and wide. owen, a lot of people have had them jabbed and still caught this disease in some form or other so i wouldnt start thinking that anyone who has caught this disease hasnt vaccinated there birds as we had a thread on here that the vets had vaccinated the lads birds and he still caught it.

gary, did the vet give you any advice on the secondary infection mate.

dont think its pmv mate, looks more like a serious respitory problem, im sure strapper will know what it is, keith.

yeh, keep taking the medication cem

cem, you lost the plot ;D ;D

vanreets, do you take that toy to bed with you.

got told by a good fancier a few years ago that we can be to clean with our birds and that is why we pick up all sorts of ailments so easy, rather than let them get imune to them, whats your thoughts on this.

couldnt agree more, sound advice

hi paul, it looks like it was Streptococcus mate, i finally put them on amoxicilin and it stopped anymore going back on me and some advice from strapper. steve hi mate, i dont want that to happen again as i was so close to packing in after having such a good season then that happens, it was a nightmare, sickening, take care, keith.

been sick, lost 8 birds, having to either kill or died but on road to recovery now, been letting out last few days, looks like one or two will have a poor moult but at least there still alive

gary, hope you get them sorted soon mate, bloody nightmare, keith

hi mate,this has happened to me a few weeks ago, pm strapper on here and he will give you some good advise mate, i injected all my birds as soon as it started but i still lost 8, if it is pmv it will last for up till 8 weeks, i feel for you mate, is there segments in the droppings like bits of led pencil, if i could give you 1 piece of advise get them jabbed as soon as posible and if it is pmv baytrill will be of no good as no antibiotics will work but it could be any 1 of a number of ailments as they have similer symptoms mate, keith .
