Sorry you have problems, Best thing to do is get them tested. Watery dropping can be the cause of almost every ailment. The only way to get them sorted is get them tested.

 

3 great people on here for this would be strapper,owen, and holmside lofts, if you pm 1 of those they will be a great help to you :-)

 

O f course there are others who will help you.

[ritchie1]

bicarbonete of soda in the water for 7 days mate and that will sort your dropping out no probs no expence

[Guest youngboy]

Thanks, yes would not dream of intending to offend anyone, Just 3 top guys off the top of my head who have helped me :-) I could give him 20 names, but that wont help the lad  

[Guest youngboy]

thank you walterbmasson!

[pigeonpete]

No offence ritchie or walter, but if he has a bigger problem like i have then no ammount of bicarbonate of soda will work, So best to get tested, treated, And try to prevent the problem next time, Not saying bicarb of soda wont clear it up, Just think he needs to know what his problem is. All the best :-)

[Guest youngboy]

bi carb will not solve all watery droppings and its not really advisable to make fanciers believe that it is so!

sometimes you need to involve a vet (with pigeon knowledge).

its entirely upto the individual which course he takes but i would advise anyone with continual wattery droppings to have a test done.

for the price it takes ..its better to know than to go on worrying...peace of mind.

 

some vets do love unknowledgable fanciers to call at their practises..but thats down to the individual vet..and not in general.

 

they can try bi-carb..but waiting around for it to solve problems could increse the problem ten fold.

there are wattery droppings that will not be cured by bi-carb and need quick treatment...this is why testing will prove invaluble.

if Walter says it clears it up in two days give it a go and see if it works what dosage to ltre of water walter

[walterbmasson]

BLACKW/F TABLE SPOON TO 3PINTS THEN POST RESULTS ON SITE RESULTS

[dwh]

why not put them on bi-carb if you have to wait 4 results then if bi-carb clears it no harm done  

[Guest joshdonlan]

are you giving them everything they need? what you feeding on? have they got grit?

[BLACK W F]

i have not got any watery droppings  i was just  asking what the dosage was  if i did i would give it a try why not

[Guest bigbok]

watery droppings are associated with two diseases only

one been cocci main one

sedond one ecoli not as common

it will most likley be coci especially with the damp wet weather we have had this last month or two
