what tests did he carry out to diagnose e-coli?

[Tropicman]

we were there for literally 15 mins he swabbed the two worse throats and came back within 10 mins and diagnosed the problem he was really good and we would definately go to him again as the birds seem to be perking up already but theres just one little blue which was a bit further on with the disease which has began to shove its head behind his body kind of thing but he is eating and drinking and flying by flying i mean within the loft as we have not let the birds out since they arrived from ireland as we have two other pigeon racers next to us, but as a precaution we removed him from the loft and put him in the spare shed any thoughts on if he could recover whilst being on the meds like the rest ?

Do as your vet says mate. But once you've got them healthy again you'll keep e-coli at bay by acidifying the gut. I use cider vinegar or you can use lemon juice.
