DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 We found this squeaker fantail like this and having never seen anything like it, would like to know what is wrong with it and what best to do with it :-/
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 if full of air stick pin in it it will go
sapper756 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Seen this b4 in an older bird, made a small cut and when the bird flapped it,s wings, trapped air escaped, no ill effects. However, wait and see wht others say Dunc m8
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 Sorry, yes it is full of air, do I use an ordinary needle or a syringe needle
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 syrenge then gently put pressure on crop air will come out
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 syrenge then gently put pressure on crop air will come out Cheers :)
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 its something to do with when cocks show off a valve does not release the air so it builds up will be fine
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 its something to do with when cocks show off a valve does not release the air so it builds up will be fine It is a young cock, but only three weeks old :-/
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 yer but they still spout off when you go near them watch them try to look big
THE FIFER Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 be careful when drawing it out with a syringe, that you dont draw its stomach in ,
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 be careful when drawing it out with a syringe, that you dont draw its stomach in , just put needle in not suck air out
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 be careful when drawing it out with a syringe, that you dont draw its stomach in , I am not going to use the syringe, just a syringe needle :-/
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 good Cheers everybody, off to try it :(
Delboy Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Ruptured air sac, put syringe needle in and leave it in while you squeeze air from crop. Put some vaseline over needle puncture when finished ;)
THE FIFER Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I am not going to use the syringe, just a syringe needle :-/ yes thought you would know that duncan, but thought i would mention it, hope all goes well,
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks guys it worked fine, only trouble is while we are holding it it stays deflated, but when we put it back in the nest it inflates again, we had to do it a third time. This time we are keeping it held to see if it make any difference. We have held it now for about 15 mins and it is staying deflated :-/ before after
ally mac Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Might be asking some of the pouter boys Dovey, I remember ready a thread before on one of the sites but cant remeber the outcome. Al.
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 he should be fine bet he reared up when you put him in nest drawing more air in
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 he should be fine bet he reared up when you put him in nest drawing more air in He did just that, will it just keep inflating, if so what is the best thing to do, still remaining deflated while I hold it
ChrisMaidment08 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 you can only watch him or go way of my pm
pjc Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 once air is out put him in a dark box for 24hrs, then this will give both the syringe hole and ruptured sack chance to heel so that he doesn't draw more air in when you go near him!
DOVEScot Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Posted October 4, 2008 you can only watch him or go way of my pm Well that has been 45 mins of holding him an still staying deflated, away to put him back in the nest and hope for the best :-/
chickadee Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 once air is out put him in a dark box for 24hrs, then this will give both the syringe hole and ruptured sack chance to heel so that he doesn't draw more air in when you go near him! Ok thanks for all your help we are away to put him in a dark box and see if that helps. Thanks again, so good to know that help is online when you really need it.
