hi all ,just read the sticky abouy flagyl, i have some tablets ,but want to flock treat before breeding  by grinding down some tablets and adding to the drinking water,

do you think this is a viable thing to try ?

[jimmy white]

never tried that,,,but you can get liquid flagyl  [anyone comming home from spain will get this over the counter in any chemist , very cheap]  " its flagyl suspension "   remember , this is antibiotic

I've read about it somewhere, think it might have been on the pipa website. I believe you also have to mix a bit of vinegar in to help it dissolve. Personally I wouldn’t trust giving it to them this way.

1500mg to 4lt water for 5-7 day's.

They are hard to dissolve,try it in a little warm water and add to drinker.

The vet Gorden Chalmers advices to mix a bit of cider vin with the warm water to help dissolve.

If you have a mortar and pestle it will grind the tablets into powder no problem.

I'd trust it 100%.

I think you will find most flagyl tabs (metronidazole) are not even made for pigeons and you would have to break them up anyway.

The post was regarding flagyl not emtryl!

I would alternate treatments metronidazole,ronidazole & emtryl.

My number one choice would be Metronidazole always before any other!

i can see for myself wot the post was reguarding!!...(flagyl) but i was giving my advice because he wanted to flock treat,which i thought  it would be much easier to have emtryl as it comes in powder form....summut he was trying to achieve by breaking tabs up and crushing them.

i have  3 types of tabs and some from the vet which i have to break into quarters.

i found emtryl to be an easier option if flock treating...alhough i do catch up all birds at times and quarter tab them....paul

IF THE POST WAS ABOUT FLAGYL AND NOT EMTRYL WHY ARE YOU QUOTING ABOUT RONIDAZOLE AND EMTRYL ?

[ribble]

No problem, Paul.

Tammy, like i said i alternate the products so it would be harder for resistance to build up.That is the reason why i quoted them.

Flagyl is a perscribed drug..........and not readily available...............

 

I found this out when I tried to obtain some as I though it would be cheaper than Spartix.
