Samanella

[lordcornwallis]

treating my pigeons with parastop in the water for a week now as i have samanella . two old hens died of it . i had eight eggs two never hatched two had to be put to sleep because of joints swollen up , so i was left with three young birds .At this time i have an old hen with a lump on its wing joint and in poor shape i despatched it this morning also an old cock bird has been retching and a young one this morning . PMV my pigeons , treat them with 4+1 also had my droppings checked clean out every day and change water also spayed virkon all over my lofts. do you think the retching is cos of the parastop or worst thank you

Do you have a vermin problem or wild birds mixing with your own? Get in contact with a vet and follow advice from them. An antibiotic prescribed by them would have been the best course of treatment IMO.

no vermin mate and the local vet knows nothing about pigeons tbh and much to my cost , sometimes i think Tipplers are weaker than racers ? i dont know any more

Sent you a PM hope you get it sorted 👍

It is a zoonotic illness - humans can catch it from animals and birds - please be vigilant.
