hepste Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Why would you want to treat a YB full of canker? OB maybe but not a YB, wasting your time and money. Best treatment??? have a good loft management system, they won't get it then. I agree wholeheartedly with you. However, the problems arise when the birds are in the race baskets, especially holdovers, and for long distance International races. Humid overcrowded conditions, drinking from the same troughs as infected birds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Owen Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Any treatments you use this time of the year should be in tablet form. Pigeons do not drink much now and they will drink even less if they pick up the tast of anything in the water. Better to use tablets.

gorsy bank lofts Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Metrodizional tablets - 1/2 tablet per bird administered on an empty crop. I have seen ybs with throat full of canker and after a 1/2 tablet was crushed and administered 24 hrs later the throat was completly clear. I treat twice a year with these and never had problems. £3.50 per 21 tablets available from your local vet. I have tried many treatments for canker and this had the best results by far. totally agree, never seen these fail yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, using soluble medication is at best hit and miss if you want all your birds treated the same way a tablet is the only way, at least then you know they have got the dose, its a pain but its worth it I think.
