Really bad watery droppings

[Bobthegas]

Hi, Can anyone help?

 

I removed a young bird from the shed yesterday as it had severe watery droppings after being caught in a bad thunder storm, it has since starting to go through the whole young bird shed, can anyone advise on what to give them, this is rether urgent.

Are your birds vaccinated against Paramyxo, are you getting sickness as well?

Is is just like water or just thin droppings. have you changed corn.

The more details you can give the easier to try and help. I wouldn't think the storm had anything to do with it.

I'd be very surprised if it was anything to do with a thunderstorm.

 

Have your birds been vaccinated against paramyxo? I understand watery droppings are the 1st signs. Would advise a water steriliser in drinking water to stop cross-infection, and contact a vet asap.

watery droppings could be a number of things....cocci/canker/y/bird sickness..or paratyphoid more commonly known as salmonella,have u noticed any of the birds acting funny in the way of twisting necks or walking unsteady on their feet?...as said act now or pay later....it maybe summut simple  but better be safe then sorry...paul.

Agree totally could be any of the above,but once you find the cause and treat accordingly it might be worth considering implementing pro biotics into your management system,they stabalise the gut bacteria and I am sure they make a difference to my birds.

hi mate give the birds probiotics in the drinking water for a few days if you want some thing cheap that works just as good go to the supermarket and buy bio live natural yoghurt you can put it in the water or on the food this will help balence to birds gut/digestion system

[Guest]

i would be more inclined to think your pigeons have para and my advice would be to get para stop and treat them with that just to stop any salmonella as both these illnesses go hand in hand and are hard to tell the difference

It seems that you are in BIG trouble mate at this time of the yb season. Best of luck however!

GET THE DROPPINGS CHECKED ASAP MATE

Send Johhny11 on here an email.... then send droppings. Very cost effective priced, and may well be a boon.

Bob,

 

Sounds as though the Thunderstorm has created stress, hence you have developed YB Sickness... See if you can get hold of some Nyfruamicin or Nifradex (not sure on spellings)..Get them on it asap

 

Where are you??

 

I always keep a sachet of nyfruamicin for this time of year, everybody training, creating a lot of stress on the YB, and with this bloody weather we have to be careful...

 

Follow up with some probiotics (gemthepax is good) all needs to assist the digestive system. They will be ok, just dont push them for a bit, lots of rest then start them off slowly again.

main thing,, have birds been vaccinated?  sounds like something involving E, coli,, i would suggest as an emerency treatment, amoxicillin ,, but a good avian vet should be called for as a feacial culture and sensitivity study , would allow the vet to make a more detailed diagnosis,

remember antibiotics are not to be used as a preventative, they will not work ,and only allow the bacteria to become ressistant  to it , i really would advice a good avian vet asap

I know all ailments of similar description are not the same but I had a friend who's pigeons covered the shed in watery droppings.  I suggested to him that it was Coccidiosis because his pigeons were drinking excessively.  He didn't listen to my advice and lost over half his team.  He THEN took a couple to the Vet verdict ? Coccidiosis. I suggest ( like Jimmy ) that you must have em' looked at.

This has wiped out everyone in my area. I keep fancys and I think I had a yb with it. I was told from all the fanciers who cured theres to,

 

1. Isolate the bad ones

2. Threat with eqvalan ivermectin paste for one day.

3. By a bottle of red coloured CYATON from your chemist and put two tablespoons to two litres for 1 week. Also keep plenty of clay pot around.

 

And most importinly hope for the best, I got lucky.

Before you go rushing off to buy any treatments. Just pop down to the chemist first and buy yourself a tub of charcoal tablets. Give the affected bird  one half of one tablet. Leave the bird for 24hrs and then check the stool. If the bird is still not right then I would treat with antibiotics.

[jimmy white]

checked the stool  ;D ;D ;D it was a wee pink one with 3 legs ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,,no but seriously think your spot on  

[ch pied]

if you can get your hand's on it , 5day's furaltdone- 3day's tiamuntin - 5day's furaltdone in that order. this is a broad spectrum treatment. a bit of a big gun . leveal teaspoon to 2lts water for boath  antibiotics. all the best

[stevebelbin]

I would say, if its been caught out in a thunderstorm and has flown itself out then the droppings would be watery, like when a bird returns from a hard race, the droppings are always watery. Just leave it in a section on its own and give it some electrolytes for a day or two and put some gemthepax on the corn for a day or two and it should return to normal. If the droppings are still watery then get them tested and treat accordingly.

a table spoon of white vinigar in 2 ltrs of water might do the trick.
