Tonics/Medications etc needed for Pigeons

[pigeonman007]

Hi all,

Just looking for ideas of an idea of products it would be good to keep for maintenance and medication for my birds incase they are ever needed.

 

I have Coxoid, Intradine & Garlic powder left other from my cage bird days, do any of these have any uses...

 

Cheers

How old are your 'left overs'?

 

are they within their use by date?

[Silverdale Lofts]

Coxoid is for cocci but you have the best on the market for cocci with the intradine

[peterpau]

You should only need to treat Cocci Kanker and Worms. No need to treat on a regular bassis, but you may need to treat those three during racing. I use cider vinegar, milton, yogurt and garlic. This keeps 'em ok for the most part, and I've never used an antibiotic yet, and I've had pigeons over 20 years.

The coxoid has a few months left, the intradine is good for another 12months.

yes but i would say anywhere between 75% too100%of lofts are using antibiotics now and id say top wining lofts are between 90% too 100% are using antibiotics  and a new starter will be bringing pigeons from a few different places where they will have different constitutions  and will more than likely come across some from sickness to young bird sickness to respiratory and with him being a new starter will probably make one or two mistakes too so just in case its handy to have a few different kinds of antibiotics in the drawer

them products are a little bit old hat now

cocci / baycox best there is

intradine is ok for small cage birds not pigeons in my view

i keep baycox for cocci

emtryl for canker

baytril or colitrine for ecoli etc

moxidectin for worms

tromexin for all round does everything except canker

nasiline to shift mucas

aviol for a good disenfectant

patogen for boost on fridays

both are high in b vits but the gemtapax covers a lot more there's a lot of stuff in one bottle i use the gem to mix Beyer's yeast into the corn or a lemon juice is good too

[pigeonman007]

Thank you for the list Terry. Do any of those help with the young bird sickness or do I need to get something else for that

[terry mccarthy]

tromexin does the lot except canker u will never see wet droppings with this stuff wattles are snow white

I use the same and would never give antibiotics, never needed any in 30 years.

 

[Guest ljb107]

will tromexin stop them getting worms?

[pigeonman007]

Where can I get the tromexin, cant find a link online.

Cheers
