Skull Lofts Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 Hi all Yesterday i noticed one of my birds looking like it had hurt its one foot. I checked it for bruises but could not find something wrong. All were basketed for 140km tos today and after liberation the convoyer phoned me and told me that one of my birds was dead in the basket. After giving me the number i remembered that it was the one with the seemingly sore foot. The other birds came well from the toss, no problems at all. Has anybody got an idea what could have gone wrong with this bird, dying within 24hours? Skull

OLDYELLOW Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 Was there any swelling in the foot,not being a scare monger but para typhoid can strike like this.Hope it's not that.Lindsay sounds like paratyphoid , i suggest you get them tested at the vets to ensure your remaining birds stay healthy
OLDYELLOW Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 could quite of easily hit a wire and damaged itself internaly but i still advise getting your birds tested

CREBAG Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 Did it have a yellow spot on its foot? Possibly gout.
Skull Lofts Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 Did it have a yellow spot on its foot? Possibly gout. GOOD one. My thoughts after examining her and not finding anything wrong was that maybe the electronic ring hindered her as she was a youngster. Skull
Razvan Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 one of mine had a cut and a piece ok metal in the leg after a race... now it is full of health
Skull Lofts Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 bird might of had a stroke i even think something like this was the cause!

wilkins Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 i thought a ruptured spleen can occur and cause death in this way
Guest IB Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 i thought a ruptured spleen can occur and cause death in this way I'm sure that isn't the cause pigeons don't have a spleen. But I think you're on the right track, its been an internal injury of some sort. One of mine came home from a race two weeks ago limping, by the Sunday the foot was off the floor. Kept her at home the following week till she was walking normally, trained her to 40 miles to make sure she was OK and put her back in this week's race, she came OK.. Foot injury possibly down to hitting wires, so it's not just the leg to consider, bird may have taken heavy knock, downed, heavy landing and been injured.

Chairman Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Hows about the possibility of a Snakebite or Wasp / Bee sting or an allergy to something eaten. Our lass makes a wonderful hotpot, you eat & eat its so good but when you try to leave the table you go dizzy and pass out, only to come around in the arms of the ugliest woman you ever met, with a gurning toothless smile she says " you not leaving the table yet, you've not touched your pudding". Oh were did I go wrong..................................help!
