ornicure is the best if you can get it mate.

[Chairman]

What you need mate is ORNI-INJECTABLE 0.5 ml per bird injected into the loose skin at the back of the birds neck.

Telephone - 07855 329555 Mr.Rooney cost @ £30 = postage.

Do not mess about get things sorted quickly before every bird goes down with it.

The above needs moderating sharpish!

lincospectin or doxycycline,, there is a product called doxyT ..

 

best of luck

Respiratory infections are treated with antibiotics. No one wants to give their birds antibiotics unless it is really necessary and we certainly don’t want to give antibiotics (or any drug for that matter) that would put the team off form. Most antibiotic preparations available to treat respiratory infection are blends of doxycycline, tylosin and spiramycin (also called suanovil). Doxycycline is the antibiotic of choice for Chlamydia, tylosin is the antibiotic of choice for mycoplasma and spiramycin is commonly used to treat secondary bacterial infection. At my clinic we supply all of these antibiotics in various combinations. “D†is straight doxycycline, “D-T†is a blend of doxycycline and tylosin, “R†is doxycycline and spiramycin and “TV†is a triple blend of doxycycline, tylosin and spiramycin. Which one is actually prescribed depends on the nature of the problem in the loft. Treatment courses are usually 3-7 days and we always recommend that a follow up treatment of a concentrated multistrain avian origin probiotic such as “Probac†is given. This is because all antibiotics cause some disruption of the normal bowel bacteria. These will reestablish in a few days once treatment is withdrawn but of course during racing we want the birds back in form as quickly as possible. Giving “Probac†floods the bowel with good bacteria and reestablishes the normal population promptly.

 

 

 

Prompt diagnosis and treatment can often result in a rapid response and quick recover. A delay in effective treatment means that race form and fitness is lost. This means that not only does the respiratory infection have to be brought under control but then fitness be reestablished. The more advanced the respiratory infection is at the start of treatment then the longer it will take to respond. Once the infection is resolves, fitness can then be reestablished, usually within 2-3 weeks.

doxcycline for me everytime....best treatment for any resp problems is tetracycline...which is in doxycycline/doxy t and so on.

tetracycline is the most effective against  any resp problems....proven by lab tests....same given to humans with resp problems.

Wondered how you would tell if it was bacterial or viral respiratory illness? Thread seems focussed on antibiotics and bacterial infection. Isn't chlamydophila a virus?

birds that are suffering respiratry problems are in a loft with poor ventalation that would need changing or any cure would only be a very short term fix to a problem that medicine wont cure , air flow is craeted by providing the correct enviroment for your birds
