frank-123 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 always thought when i have used this before it takes your birds a couple of weeks to recover

frank-123 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 i hope not m8...my m8 use to use it every other week on a wed..hes won many races.... every week wow does say before and after a race on the instructions but always thought it was very harsh i have used it once at the start of the year to clear the nostrils
retired Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 We use it at the start of the season as in 3 weeks before anything. Im not convinced anything that does that to the birds cant have some short term side affects.
Guest puresoontjen Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 ive used it once never again it knocked by birds back for six, the birds was doing well in the first 5 races then i got told to put some naisline in there nose, the birds didn't get back on track for 2 weeks. its good stuff it clears them out if i do use it again it will be at least 4 weeks befor raceing starts, my advise is NOT to use it in raceing season.
pigeon Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 well mark u might be behind then for a fe weeks lol
david Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Dont!!! DONT!!! DONT!!! This was the advice i was given by my vet who had naseline tested .Their was an acid component prevalent that would destroy fine membrane tissue of the nasel tract ..The birds would not recover after prolonged use of this stuff . I bought it in good faith some 4 years ago when starting up as i thought i needed all this garbage ...but being me did not take it at face value I had it tested .Cost me £70.00 to get tested . The source i got it from is well out of business for crookery and good enough too... On your head be it.Good luck DAVID
Guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Nasaline is supposed to be a simple solution of salt and water that is harmless to birds, the problem is that some prat in their infinite wisdom decided to add a decongestant called oxymetazoline hydrochloride (or worse) to the mix with the idea that it would close the bloodvessels of the mucus membrane thus opening up the airways and helping the bird breath more easy, a little like any nasal spray we use as humans. This burns like sh** if you have a sensitive membrane or other reaction to it and because pigeons membrane is far more senstive than ours you can imagine what it does to them. STAY WELL AWAY unless its untampered saline.
