hi vijsl tend to agree with bruno .....but the high water in take????

hi silverdale lofts .if TRICHOMONAS GALLINAE are present .that little single celled bug , knowen as a protazoa , you are correct it spins like mad , by means of to little legs .knowen as FLAGELLA. as you know, their are 20+ strians of that little bug of which their is weak and strong types. none are visible to the naked eye, the yellow deposits are a product of the birds anti-bodies ,fighting the good fight with the weak types . the strong type no visaible sign . hence canker can be confused with pox... yours in sport

hi my local vet says treat the secoandery infection first,/worms/thursh /cocci/?????? what a mine field

hi . only one way to tell if canker/tricomonias is present in a bird , and that is a swab taken from the throat , placed under the microscope at x400. my local vet told me if yellow deposits are seen it may be canker or pox if its canker they are the weak strains and the birds own imune system is fighting ,ridzol should be used as perscribed ....if its pox let it run its coarse as they will never take it again

hi had this on a bird some 30 years ago . a local old hand told me it was a corn (YES A CORN ) he told me to dab it with kerosene/ heating oil for 4or5 days and it would sort it out. well as i went away laughing to my self. i still done it . it worked and put an end to the laughing.

hi try osmonds pigeon dip , a much safer product ,duramitex is not ment to be used as a dip. hard to beat sheep drench as described in my last post

hi if you see one bird with the so called YBS then you can bet the whole loft have it old birds to .but they have a stronger immune system and do not show the same symptoms no corn 48 hrs ,only grit and water with 1ml iodine to 3 ltrs. after 48 hrs rice or groats in small amounts twice daily also continue grit and iodine you should see the birds tighten up after 5 days . then up the feed to a light yb mixture 3days .up the feed again 50% yb 50% w/hood this worked for me no loft flying for 10 days ..... and its AQUEOUS IODINE ....44 ybs in loft lost 5 . 23 ob in loft lost 1 to the so called YBS BEST OB/YB SEASON EVER 1995 LET THEM BUILD THEIR OWEN IMMUNE SYSTEM BACK UP
