[pigeonsRuS]

Hi Guyz/Gals

What shall i do..? i do not hav any medicine or anything..?

Isolate it imeadiately, away from other birds, to prevent infection spreading. put on a light feed and add vitamins to the water, if it does not recover within a day or 2, then dispose of it.

One thing you might like to consider, along with the other good advise here etc. Is place a couple of small pieces of charcoal down its throat, does wonders at times, as strange as it may seem.

Enjoy

havent seen the dropping,,,but i have mixed a clove of garlic with the water,,

 

 

[pigeonsRuS]

is this what u guyz r talking about..!!

 

[Andkar Lofts]

no dont think it is,baking soda ( bicarbonate soda) is what they mean,get it as said ,tesco/asda.....

cut a sliver of that garlic clove & shove it down birds throat.....that will clear watery droppings in 24hrs .............but suggest you act fast

i bought sodium bicarbonate (salt ) from the chemist 0.70p,,. is that the one..??

[Guest chrisss]

"old hands" pills/potions are very good if the bird is going light [lots of websites have got them]they dont' cost that much if you have to go down the pill route then they should work.its not so much for this one bird [it might be too late ]but it will do if/when any of the others catch it
