kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 hi, people. got problem with stock bird. thought he did not look right, checked him , opened his mouth and watery fluid came out. smelt sour .he is making a bit of noise when breathing , feeding a youngster about 3 days old. any advice apreciated.
OLDYELLOW Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 put the birds back to your ear if its respiritry you wil here its lungs inflate / deflate if crackly its got respiritry best to se a vet tylan seems to be the medication for respirity
OLDYELLOW Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 id look at opening the loft up at bit warm weather can bring this on in birds also the dust off droppings i have put a mesched door on my stock also will be doing same for ybs
Guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 tho if not it mite be sour crop if the stuff that came out is smelly!! but treat for respitory anyway! as long as you dont treat often it does them no harm!!!
OLDYELLOW Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 with sour crop it usualy makes them hold corn but the parasite that causes respirity will make its lungs inflamed and the liquid could be due to the inflamation and infection
pigeonpete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 tricky one to answer! i wouldnt say it was respitory, may have a touch of it now, sounds like sour crop to me or canker! so there is 3 possibles! so we cant blind treat. are any other birds affected? what do the ybs look like? what about the hen? cheers
kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 cant hear any cracling oldyellow, opened his mouth and still a bit of smelly fluid came out. but not much. watched him a few mins , he seams to shake a bit when breathing.
kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 none of the other birds affected they all look good.
pigeonpete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 keep him isolated for now, what are droppings like? bit more info would be great!
kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 dropping s ok pete , cant see any blockage in throat.
pigeonpete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 dropping s ok pete , cant see any blockage in throat. [/quoto.k, do your stock go out? is the hen o.k? could he have eaten anything untoward?
kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 stock prisoners. hen fine. cant see how he has eaten anything bad . feed in boxes individualy. and cleaned out every second day. i think iwill isolate him pete,
Guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 give him abit of charcoal down his throat if he still smells
pigeonpete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 stock prisoners. hen fine. cant see how he has eaten anything bad . feed in boxes individualy. and cleaned out every second day. i think iwill isolate him pete, the sour smell, indicates to me sour crop! is he an old pigeon? has he bred alot of young this year? could have been brought on by stress? if his crop still has some liquid in it try and squeeze the rest out! then just keep him on his own, with just water, and see how he is tom! has he lost any weight?
kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 lost no weight pete . this is his second round . he has always been a nervy pigeon since i got him . hes a 2 yr old .
pigeonpete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 lost no weight pete . this is his second round . he has always been a nervy pigeon since i got him . hes a 2 yr old . why is he in the stock loft if you dont mind me asking? have you bought him? is his box in a draught or anything different than the others? may just be he has had a bit of damp corn? see how he is tommorow, and keep an eye on the young, and put cider vinegar in water of other birds, until you have a clearer picture!
kipper Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 thanks pete will do. he is in stock loft as i bought him in.
just ask me Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 sounds like a canker to me u might have what called a canker nodule in the throat u wont actually see it it grows in the throat and blocks the air pipe
