first thing,ISOLATE IT!!!!!

[peterpau]

Cider vinegar in the water. Table spoon per drinker. One table spoon natural yoghurt on the corn per half pound of food. Treat all in that section this way for a week. Sounds like it may be young bird sickness. This will acidify the gut and lower the activity of any infection. Another one could be lemon juice. Use what you have to hand first, actimel that sort of thing

[Guest]

thanks will do that good to have you guys to turn to

[Guest]

i have isolated it thanks for that advise

Hi mark

yes it is one of thr first signs of yb sickness holding corn /vomiting /being still not spinning.

i would have left the yb in with the others and put on theraprim for 5 days then multi vits.

if your going to get yb sickness this is the time to get it thats why i said leave it with the others you dont want it in the racing season.

if you can Get fresh Elldaberrys feed them to the birds or get extract and add to feed for YB sickness the raw berry is best but not in season right now.

i would go and get some belgasol and some belga 4in 1 mix as i had this 2 years ago and this put the right

[frank-123]

have to say cider vinegar work when i got it

 

no feed for 24 hrs

only cider vinegar in the water 5ml ---2ltr drinker

then feed light for a week keeping the vinegar in the water at the rate above

 

everybody has there own ideas though

[peterpau]

I'd have to agree with slatey. If you do isolate, you may have the same infection return after the first race. Get it over and done with. Cider vinegar, lemon juice, yoghurt, actimel, easy to find in most households.

u have proberbly got loads of ideas by now but il throw another 1 in get some barcabonait of soda 1 teaspoon to 5 pint drinker, last season my youngens were holding a little corn in the afternoon when i gave them that for a couple of day it was cleared up in no time and i never had the sickness all season and flew the whole program with very good prizes. try it!

[Guest]

Problem is you don't really know what you're dealing with, so I'd always advise isolate the bird. Don't like the thought of spreading unknowns through the young bird team.

 

I've also found one bird [isolated] is a lot easier to treat.

I spoke with Mark (Barlby Lofts) in the Chatroom and told him my thoughts were his bird had sour crop and to treat it with Malt Vinegar and warm water.  Apparently this was the case and I had a PM from Mark yesterday to say he treated the bird as I suggested and it recovered pretty quickly

[Guest]

yeah thanks hyacinth it worked a treat the bird is fine now.and thanks to all you other guys for your thoughts to i have noted them all thanks
