Usually the dropings are the best way of pinpointing what is wrong,What colour/ texture are the dropings?

have others gone the same? Seems not, so as Asha would probably advise... don't mate her up, and give her plenty of air.... Between the neck and shoulders. Sure you may bolster her up. What for? to breed inferior races / stock. First loss is best loss I say.

[jimmy white]

many years ago we used to use the phrase "going light" as a specific desease,,the cause of a pigeon  going light can  be many,, cocci ,canker, etc etc , but if flagyl has cured it,, its been a touch of canker  ,,i suspect the going light tablet was white sesqui,, which is bi-carb of soda
