i need to get to the bottom for once and for all, didnt want to go round telling everyone but i cant keep avoiding the REAL problem, i had paratyphoid in 2006, and to be honest dont think its really ever left, and now got a couple (latebreds) lameness in wings, so they will be the ones going to the vets, needs eradicating for good, thought it was gone, but maybe not, my loft hygeine has been paramount this year, spray with virkon often, and burn once aweek, so maybe i have carriers, and yes i do jab them now aswell, so can it be cured?, i wont kill them all. so please no options on that front.

 

yes i used to have a terrible loft hygeine, and rodents when i started up in 2005, but i didnt know any better, no mice can get in now  :-/

The Vets at Retford do.  libby@retford-poultry.freeserve.co.uk  Â£50.

I reckon that if its the local office, they will have facilities to receive and have birds euthanised for post mortem examination. You don't need to tell them anything, just phone and ask if they do it, and find out costs. If not, they may be able to recommend another lab.

 

And don't make up your mind that you have 'disease x' ~ get it checked out.

[leighton1984]

what's the point in sending to vet to tell you what you know ?

Will give them a try, thanks, but i have a fair idea, having seen it before. but want to be 100% so i will take your advise :-)

pigeon men that are on the ball know more about racing pigeon than the vets.

Hi Pete,I might be totally wrong here mate ,if I am someone please put me right,I thought a blood test on the birds would sort your problem,also save a lot of cash.

If my back ws against the wall and had to make a choice I would ring Ian Cammeron at Manor Court vets, tell him the whole story and ask his advice.Nothing lost for the price of a phone call.My mate had a problem went to a local vet complete waist of time.

Years ago when we had problems in the loft with birds dying the local vet advised doing a PM.

He said a 'newly deceased' one would be best so the illest looking one was put out of it's misery and the Vet sent it off for a PM.

 

The result???? The pigeon had died of a broken neck!!!!!!

 

Needless to say the Vet didn't charge us for the Report lol  :-/
