Why if young bird sickness have they given you baytrol,vet needs shooting and how much did he charge you for that.

sounds like parathyphoid to me??? if it is then Baytril should help

send one away for a post mortem to be sure and a poo sample if you know someone quick

Good luck

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Extremely sorry mate must be very hard to take but it is my opinion that this is not y.b sickness. Certainly not sure what it may be but never heard of symptoms like that being y.b. sickness must be something else as don't trust that lot with a bargepole but he will be ok if he is making money. Good luck anyway

I wouldnt think at this time of the year Dave, looks like it could be something more than meets the eye.

 

Hope you get all fixed out mate.

doesnt sound like young bird sickness to me, not sur ewhat it could be best bet would be trying a avian vet asap,

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Dougie, With symptoms like that there is no way that's y.b sickness poor guy

[flyingteessider]

every bird dead so far wasnt injected for the race season they were late breds my yearlings didnt race so were not injected for paramoxy they also look down,none of the race team so far have it or look down the vet said yb sickness but i dont think so, from healthy to hudeld up still eating then theyre sick then breathing hard then dead 3 days

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Is the vets name Mr Dick know it's not funny but wouldn't waste any more money on him and get an avian vet as the guy earlier said as this is good advice

Isolate the ones that arent too well mate, if using baytril watch how you are giveing them it, could be doing worse than you think with it. Is it an Avian vet you have spoken to, if they havent been jagged, could be paramixo.

[Guest bigda]

sounds more like you have paramyxovirus  are the birds squirting  fluid, have you treated for cocci going light

[flyingteessider]

pure water some of them i told him this but he said they wernt twitching and and didnt have a nerve problem

[Tony C]

At this stage my course of action would be to get a 2nd opinion and in the interim split the birds into two section, treat one lot with Baytril and the other with Amoxicillin.

[flyingteessider]

if i inject the birds for paramox tomorrow is it to late am i shutting the door after the horse has bolted

[Babybird]

if i inject the birds for paramox tomorrow is it to late am i shutting the door after the horse has bolted

 

wouldnt do that when they are so ill :-/

[just ask me]

do it as quick as possible   ;) ;)

 

also follow tony c advice also mix 10% ronizaole in the water then come in with amino acids

 

and a real good muliitamin

[Guest bigda]

pure water some of them i told him this but he said they wernt twitching and and didnt have a nerve problem

 

separate them take the water out and grit from them feed them  and keep the water from them only give them water small amount in  box  and take away after feed  the water Will have to be medicated  amoxacillin  for 7 days  then vits for 3 days  they key is keep the water away from them  only  after food   small amount  save you in the cost of medicines  then jag all the birds that haven't any signs of this  you will be at this  treatment for  10- 14 weeks till this clears  then you can jag them  but some might have  a  defect  it all depends on the severity  of the virus

dont give up just yet,see it through to the end and keep trying to save them.i nearly gave up but decided to bring in everyone i could think of to help me.birds are over it all now and looking fine.can you post some pictures of droppings etc so that we can help you.oh and if your going to use a vet make sure they have a bird specialist otherwise they will fob you off and tell you anything to get rid of you after they have taken your money.the first thing we need to do is find out exactly what your birds are suffering with.yb sickness is to broad an answer from the vet ask them to be more specific with their diagnoses.
