Whats the best thing to use to maintain a good allround healthy pigeon.(I reckon he would say Garlic)

[just ask me]

it was a simple question thought it might have sparked a few ideas as what bothering pll and questions they need answered but its seems most pll here know it all anyway no wonder some pll don't stay on the site to long as there is only a few posts here that were serious seems were just a bunch of know it alls it seems to me if your not in the click here your not taken seriously

don't take it too bad some post's create a good helpful response others don't  

 

to the guys that hijacked his post think again lets get it back to the original question

 

if i was to ask a vet a question

it would be should i treat for canker and how often

[joe61]

my own opinion i think some treat birds for every ailment known to man kind and some that arent jmo

 

oh happy days

I think your thread should come up with some good questions and will be helpfull to new comers to the sport , after all the amout of different preperations and so called remidies it's a mine field of different products , some work some dont , but im sure alot of money is waisted on most things that simply do dont anything. I suppose some fanciers are lucky how they get there start and a good mentor who can save the new comers from the many pitfalls that can happen is a good thing , i was luck enough to have this and was shown the route to a good avian vet , which is half the battle,  unhealthy birds cant be made fit via training and a over treated bird will not make a loft full of healthy ones , its all about ballance and to treat when not nessersary when a bird is not ailing is a waiste of money surely a once a month test is cheaper than treating for several things when you cant be sure your treating for the right thing in the first place. However canker is better controled once a month , rather than treated for because by the time its shows its usualy too late.

I don't know if this has already been said (as I have not read all the posts)

 

Does the constant use of antibiotics on pigeons have an effect on the immune system and future generations

Now thats a good question and one that really needs to be answered with proof to back the answer.
