If they are twisting their necks and throwing seed about - they have PMV, sometimes pigeons survive - sometimes they do not

 

 

there are lots of videos on you tube to do with pigeon disease

Does sound like Paramyxo,you say you first noticed this 3-4 weeks ago but you vaccinated 2 weeks ago,was it vaccine for paramyxo that you used,when was the last time you vaccinated for this as it sounds like they may have caught the disease before you jabbed them.

It looks like they have taken a reaction to the vaccine, Twisted neck(star gazing) is a sign of the brain being infected and overheating it could be any number of things including paramyxo or pigeon menangitis, best to get the vet to do a live post mortem and find out the true cause it may be that you will lose a few if not all your birds but I would cull any showing signs of twisted neck

I used chevita p-200 this year and my later bred ybs took pmv. I KILLED THEM ALL, and they were bred from my very best stock.I have emailed chevita to complain about this but they have not replied. BEWARE, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT, it has cost me dearly.

vaccination is for New Castle. 2 of my bird effect with Salmonela and treated ok with Ciprofloxacin Syrup. but one of them is still on slight neck twist.

i talked a Vet Doc a few minit back n he offer me CuSo4 1gm/2 Ltr n to continue Vit B1 + Riboflavin. he also said that it may b the after effect of Vaccination which may gone normally.

 

thnx

This year, i lost almost 40% from my loft, and 15% is sick with neck shaking. this time it is not PMV i guess. but suffer a lot. I had never fall in this type hazard before.

 

now i request you all to let me have a way to recover the twisting neck. How can i treat them with medicine?? or caring?

 

thanks

Sorry but in my opinion if this symptoms are showing through all your birds ,dispose of them ,disinfect your loft and start again .

[walterboswell59]

PUT THEM IN THE BIN.

im with you tooshy how can you rely on these birds even if they come through it looks like a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted id dispose of the ones that have it and keep the ones that dont and start again this is the chance you take when you dont vaccinate but im sorry for the guy its sickening to see been there

there is no cure for this m8 its a virus that has to run its course dont waste money trying to cure it just treat for secondary infections thats all you can do till it has run its course m8 then put a teaspoon of thin bleech into 5 liters of water leave for a half hour then put it in your drinkers it will kill most things your birds are getting and costs little do this for 14 days then once a week when they are back to normal
