blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 can anyone tell me if you can give grit to the birds when on amoxicillin as i know theres a few antibiotics that you shouldnt, thanks.
Pigeondoll Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 The calcium counteracts the antibiotics, so im lead to believe.
blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 its not the pill lol very helpfull ???
slatey Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 no you dont give grit /minrials why are you giving amoxy at this time of the year???????????
Guest Owen Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 No, do not give them grit. And don't forget to use yogurt, probiotic or multivits after the treatment.
mark croker Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 i would not have them on that in the moult, jmo
blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 i would not have them on that in the moult, jmo you would if birds were dying mate.
Novice Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 you would if birds were dying mate. Hi, you know the specific cause of the illness so whoever diagnosed this should say whether or not to give grit/minerals. As far as I am aware the antibiotics which you cannot do this with are the mycin group. Amoxy is not a member of this group. I admit I have been known to be wrong on occasions so it is worthwhile withdrawing grit/minerals as a precaution. Good luck
Guest strapper Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 hi another thing...do not give any sort of multi vits untill the treatment is over. this could only feed the illness.
Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 Don't let the birds out when on treatment as they will peck about in the garden .
blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 Don't let the birds out when on treatment as they will peck about in the garden . thanks lads, birds have been confined to lofts for 4 weeks.
Peckedhen Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 i would not have them on that in the moult, jmo Can you explain why not Mark? Sue
Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 Treating in the moult,they say it will damage the bird while moulting :-/ ive never treated birds while moulting so i would not realy know,but race birds moult when racing and we treat them then .
DAVIDL Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 No, do not give them grit. And don't forget to use yogurt, probiotic or multivits after the treatment. agree with owen, do not give grit when treating with amoxicillin.......and also good advise to treat with vitamins after treatment. ive used amoxicillin and its good stuff which can be used for a number of illnesses......good luck.
blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 hi david, what dosage did you give at mate
kev43 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 can anyone tell me if you can give grit to the birds when on amoxicillin as i know theres a few antibiotics that you shouldnt, thanks. what are u treating ur birds 4 ?
blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 look at my earlier post kev
mark croker Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 i wont treat in the moult as Dr van de sluis advise not to treat for paratypoid (dont know how to spell it)in the molt he says it effects the proper growth, amoxicillin does they same so i would stay away from it, i know that it is just a penacillin for bacterial infection, but thats just me, i dont know if it would effect it, The thing is, if my birds mess up on the molt they cant get another chance due to room, so they have to go anyway
kev43 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 thanks lads, Streptococci sorry blackdog,,i missed that 1,,, have they been tested 4 this m8 ?

mark croker Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 hi mark, what would you do if your top birds started to die, surely you would treat them regardless if they had a poor moult. A bird that i was not going to race i would, i culled the best bird i my loft just weeks ago, as i dont have room for stock and i new that it would not race next year, so it had no place, i am not saying that it is the best way for you to go but its my way, I dont even no that it will effect the moult :-/
blackdog Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 ok mark, thanks for that, if it does efect the moult i will just leave them of the road for 12 months as they are to good to kill, plus i dont keep to many as it is
