i sent a dropping test to a vet. he said i needed to treat for coxoid and canker. i done this and the droppings begun to be long and firm, but after a few days some went very watery. i emailed the vet and he said to give them amoxycillin for 4 days. i asked where i could get it,but no reply from him. sent another email asking again, but no reply. i will give him a ring.

amoxicillin is a semisynthetic analog of penicillin if you get any check the dosage as you can do more arm than good if you over dose

hi just woundering wot this product is used for does it cure everything or just some stuff

[invalidusername]

Well, as it's an antibiotic, whatever it does help, it won't have any use against a virus.  Sorry, probably not that helpful :-)

[pjc]

Why are you asking about the 2 medications?

[frank-123]

top flyer in the uk uses it if his birds are ill

but its not on his video

[frank1]

i have been given a tub of mycolyte and a tub of amox

[pjc]

unless you have a problem then bin em!

[frank1]

i never ask if i should bin them or not i ask wot they are used for

[frank1]

wot video is that one bart m8

[invalidusername]

i never ask if i should bin them or not i ask wot they are used for

 

Perhaps a bit rude?  It was a perfectly reasonable statement and question.  If you don't have any problems, there's nothing to treat, and if you do, the question could have answered whether this treatment would be any good for it?

[frank-123]

think he has a few video's but i aint telling who he is

[frank1]

i got told that it cured 99.9% of everything that pigeon's get

[pjc]

it is just another broad spectrum antibiotic which will cure many infections that any antibiotic will cure but will also strip many of the birds natural imunities which makes them suseptable to other infections!

pjc never ment to offend u with that staement but the products could be usefull in the fture

[pjc]

no offence taken, i am just very anti the blind use of antibiotics.

As far as i'm concerned if anybody has a problem they should find out what the problem is and then treat it with correct medication.

There are to many fanciers who think they have a problem and just give a course of "cure it all" allowing secondry infections to set in!
