i treat them with a heaped tea spoonful of bicarbonate of soda 1heaped tea spoonful to a two half litre drinker for 5 days and then every sunday try it as it is a far cheaper alternative to all other treatments it also keeps down the coci count :-/ :)

I prefer to use something like spartrex or coccigeal so I know they have definately been done

Each to their own M8,but I only do them twice a year and have never experienced canker ..so it works

pigeon geos to race first week returns 20% canker goes the following week returns 30% canker and so on untill it gets slower and slower (like harky way the booze) so it would be best to treat every week then would it not ,done all that stuff of sending droppings etc away waste of money as they tell you anything and alf your that daft you beleive them   :D :D

Is it ok to treat birds for canker when they have day old chicks?

[Guest slugmonkey]

There was a post on here about treating for canker a long time ago and it basically said there were about 8 identified strains with most being harmless and a couple being fatal about 90% of the time to birds that were previously unexposed most birds lived through the lesser strains and these that were later exposed to the more toxic forms were affected less with very few deaths

Using this info I quit treating for canker about 3 years ago and have had no visible problems with it,, I do treat my race team about 1/2 way through season but not breeders, bicarb soda alters PH and probably VERY little else ( it is used to alter the PH in swimming pools ) and guess what else I do.....

Cider Vinegar which as we all know alters the PH in the blood my guess canker probably has a real low tolerance for ph changes

I dont know just my guess

you i think have hit the nail on the head 2 years ago while in secondary school researched something simiular about bacteria and parasites not reacting well to a constant change to pH i also think tempreture was involved but dont quote me on the temp part.

I don't use medication, but I do use half a crushed fresh organic garlic bulb in the drinking water Saturdays & Sundays, 52 weeks a year.

 

It takes care of a number of things , trichomonads is one.

 

And if I run out of garlic, my second choice is refrigerated organic cider apple vinegar in the drinking water, 5ml to 2ltr.

 

[Guest]

have to agree that garlic has its uses but its not a cure all and end all if it was why are there so many pigeons still going down with this or that cocci canker respiratory there all about so how has garlic not cured all that lot or does it chase it into remmision ,another case of plastering over a cut .
