westy Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 I HAVE A PROBLAM I AM LOOKING AFTER SOMEONES TUMBLERS AND TIPLERS YESTERDAY ONE TURNED ILL SO I ISOLATED IT. ITS DROPPINGS HAVE BLOOD IN AND NOW JUST WENT DOWN AND ANOTHER BIRD IS THE SAME WHAT DO I NEED TO GIVE THEM AND WHAT IS IT AND WILL IT WIPE OUT THE LOT (HE HAS 60+ BIRDS).
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Are you sure its blood Westy - bright red, and not just something they've been eating like Hormoform
westy Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Posted July 20, 2006 dark red and with dark green droppings.
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 How do the birds look, do they look ill ? Hunched up ? Backs arched up ? Feathers blown ?
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Are they drinking a lot - have you noticed
westy Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Posted July 20, 2006 errr not sure i go down 3 times a day and check them i change the water evrey day and check they have got some.
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 It could be a few things Westy - do the droppings smell horrible ? Can you remember ?
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 It could still be a few things, worms, cocci, etc - the first one they would probably eat a lot, second one probably not eat much, are they eating ok?
Tony C Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 How is the pigeon you isolated? have its droppings returned to normal?
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Thank God - the cavalries arrived................. :'(
westy Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Posted July 20, 2006 thanks all CLOCKMAN told me some advice what to do and what he thinks it is the isolated bird is not eating or drinking and drppins are week (wartery) what shall i do the bloke will be back tuesday CLOCKMAN told me about using thin bleach so i will give it a try. thanks martin
Tony C Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 One bit of advise, wash your hands and dont wear the same shoes/clothes when you enter your own pigeon lofts. Better to be safe than sorry.

ribble Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 ok,thats my advice anyway,hope it all turns out fine...
mO Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Westy, do you have any Vircon S ??? Available at corn store maybe? £3:50 ish a sachet, my club disinfects the baskets ref:- DEFRA using Virkon S. I apply to my drinkers after racing too. administer 1/2teaspoon to 5 ltr drinker. hope they improve real quick for you. one thing if the vircon s dont cure the sick birds it will stop the rest going backwards yours in sport mO.
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 REDCHEQHEN, The lad wants help not sarcasm I wasn't being sarcastic - I am a novice myself - and didn't really know and nobody was coming to the rescue - I also had to go out
