yes we have used Ronidazole and found it very effective but we now alternate it with Ridsol .

to expensive can get a kilo off raf herbot for 20 pound

ive tried this and it works for me and the price seems ok      http://pigeons.taylorschoice.co.uk/products/162937_cankex_-_uk_animal_health_100ml.php

[Guest MIKE1957]

is it the 5%   one    :-/   i did read somewhere it used tobe more like  10%  & they use it     abroad  alot ,  i was told to  use  a different one  each time    so  canker does not get use to it

 

there are so many on the market  so i agree with you ,try a different one each time and see what one works

[Guest MIKE1957]

i like to use the powder type or do you use the table kind , or both  :-/

 

ive used both, but i prefer powder its easier to use

[peterpau]

Yes I use it. It aint a matter of finding which one works. Kanker treatments need to be used on a rotational basis.

[Guest MIKE1957]

with been out of work at this time, i was thinking  the powder type would go a lot further  compared to tables  , trying to do whats best but keep cost s down a bit

 

thats what its about at the moment...keeping the cost down. like you im not working at the moment so every penny counts, i get all my stuff from taylors choice, i find there prices are good

ok strange one that as its the same active ingredient as any other product maybe u gave your birds too much drugs over the years and now are immune to the stuff

 

u should really change the type of drug u are giving them from year 2 year

[shotgun tim]

[Guest bigda]

i've been told its good to switch treatments..so i switched from spartrix tabs to chevicol powders (easier)...but in a way i wish i'd bought  chevicol tabs as you know each bird is done. i suppose if treating for canker you need full dose....but for prevention/low levels i wonder if 1/2 dose ok. i reckon canker is the most important of the basic diseases so important to do something.....having said that i know good fanciers who say they don't treat (worried)

First check the active ingredient of the product that you are using now and the one you intend to switch over to, if the active ingredient is the same class, then you aren't switching, you're using the same one under a different Brand Name.

 

I would also check the label for the dose; if it says X for Y days, then you must do that. Underdosing will almost certainly leave live organisms, these will develop immunity to the treatment you've just used, reproduce back to previous levels and form a colony resistant to all treatments in the same class. I've seen opinions that these treatments underdose anyway; and have given rise to the present resistant susperstrains.
