[REDCHEQHEN]

It depends on the strength of the oral suspension............

 

Check how many IU's per ml. (International units)

 

If it's 100,000 IU per ml - a pigeon requires 0.5 ml (50,000 IU's per dose)

 

a pigeon needs more than one dose if it has a yeast infection (5 - 7 days I would personally treat for)

[demolition man]

Whats it used for?

[OLDYELLOW]

as previously said you need to know what strength the suspension is too much not good and too little wont be effective

[clayton moore]

It is used in the treatment of oral and crop thrush. It is also effective in some fungal infections.Just as a by the way metronidazole, (flagyl) given 1/4 tablets for 5 days is every bit as gOOD. The bird will be treated for canker at the same time.

A womans thrush is the same as a pigeon's canker. Yeast. What makes me laugh sometimes is when treating (ed) for yeast you often hear it said.. '.... Give them brewers yeast ... )  :-/ :-/ :o

Would have thought any yeast then would be taboo. Indeed I personally think any yeast in any way shape or form is a no goer anytime as far as I am concerned. But everyone to their own of course.

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Used it with great effect for years and it is 1ml to 1pint water

Medpet's Medistatin has 400,000 IU's per gram of nystatin - and it is 5g to 1 kg of corn - this works out at 50,000 IU's per bird for 40 pigeons eating 1 kg corn and is what I have based my working out on.

roland agree 100% found found out the hard way myself

[REDCHEQHEN]

I give up

 

If any of you men get ''women's thrush'' that is the same as ''pigeon canker'' - I suggest you leave the women alone and get yourselves off to the G.U.M. Clinic

 

The End

Nystan is for 'Thrush' and on prescription only here.

Sorry to say it is the same  - or family, as there are 29 different variations....

Nystan is effective for them all... Not over used of corse. Any and all other treament, remedies, have to be changed after 2 (3  Tops) as the canker quickly gets immuned to it.

Be interesting to 'Google it gal.

[Roland]

So I did

Like I said there are a number of different ...

I mean that is why the fancy turned to Thrush treatment to get a better stronger remedy.

[REDCHEQHEN]

I don't need to google it 'guy'

 

I am a woman

 

I know everything   :P

[OLDYELLOW]

The End

 

well said.

It amazes me sometimes what people come out with, why use a product designed for human use when there are products designed for use in pigeons which have been tested and are at the right strength, plus theres a simple safe alternative treatment for yeast and thats Iodine, this tip came from a very well qualified pigeon vet and has been tested and proven to work, so why give them nystan.

 

jas.

 

 

 

[Roland]

Why indeed Jas ... indeed why not let canker run a while and do like the ole timers - as they are now - and use a match! ... sulphur head. When real bad we could turn the match and collect it all the fuzz up. Then just dab the head of the match in and round the throat etc. Worked then, so why not now ....
