droppings

[coey]

hi. could anyone tell me a rough price it would cost to get my birds droppings tested? the past week i have found some very watery droppings, some look almost clear with sort of bubbles in. the past two days,my loft has had a funny smell in aswell. i have read a couple of posts on droppings and although there seems to be alot of suggestions on what it could be, and what to use, no one seems to inform you on what cured there bird. all the best. anthony.

Droppings (the iffy looking ones)collected and mixed together. Swab just 2 pigeons, one swab for each.

the vet said i need to treat for worms and cocci. i have read the label on the bottle of harkers harka-verm and it says not to use during hatchling period. my birds are sitting eggs and chicks, so what should i do? any advice please?

moxydectin can be used when swabs are in the nest

you can treat while birds are sitting eggs, its when they are feeding young birds that some medicines are not for use, read instructions on them,
