Flowers of Sulphar

[retired]

I wondered if anyone has any information on this product.

 

I am guessing it is more of a product used years ago than now.

 

 

[OLDYELLOW]

used sulphur tablets to keep a breed of dog cool but not for pigeons ( the dog was a Chinese Shar-Pei )

It was an old friend from Scotland who used to swear by it (since Deceased)

 

I will pm Henrik as i know they were in the same Club

it is something he swore by and i beleive it was a tiny pinch onto the grit.

 

Reason for asking is i have had some in my cupboard long enough without ever using it.

 

Thanks for the info guys, i think it can stay in the cupboard  ;D

Bigda is right I can remember Bernie Bennett writing about FOS over 20 years ago even used it on my own dogs but never on pigeons.
