Respiratory

[nutverlal]

Hi there

 

Firstly check if nothing is stuck in the troat.

 

Check the eyes, if watery then you need antibotics as it will be cold eye illness.

 

I hope this helps as this is also a learning curve for me to.

 

Thanks

plenty fresh air sure helps prevention , but also a clean,dry  loft ,,   as a last resort use tylan [antibiotic ] i,e vets advice

[David Home]

Tylan should be used at the rate of 1g per litre of water.  You should mix it with warm water first before adding it to the drinker.It is marketed by a company called Elanco, and is only available through your vet. I found it to be the most effective product against respiratory infections.

So would feeding turkey pellets often do damage, they contain antibiotics aswell I think

with due respect david i think this is a high dose 1gm per litre [i think for larger animals such as calfs pigs etc ,] i had been advised by vet  to use 0.5 g per litre for pigeons for 5 days ,,,,, maybe just check ?  jimmy

Was there a man in Lanarkshire named Harwood who kept his birds in almost completely open lofts with wire all round, were his birds kept in these nearly all year round  and raced to the open  style lofts?  did he ever have many health problems with his birds ?,

1g per litre should be given for no more than 3 days Jimmy. It also would depend on what time of the season you would be treating the birds.   i.e water consumption of the birds.

john harwood keeps and races y/b in an aviery only after racings over do they get into the loft

[Guest]

Years ago when i first started with birds never remember having to treat like we do now whats changed so much over the years

 

peoples attitude thats what changed rose they pay big bucks for pigeons and think cause they payed dear for them they are good pigeons ,todays pigeon fanciers would never survive racing against some of the really old times ,adams ,krkpatrick ,logan ,horsburgh ,etc list is endless these people were ruthless when it came to selection of breeding stock etc and no molly coddling either
