Tony C Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 My Guess is that the vaccination you gave them knocked them right back and something else has taken advantage of their weakened state. Your only course of action is to get either a dead youngster or one thats showing symptoms to a vet asap

Guest paulrstokes Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Really feel for you mate To be honest I don't have a clue, I would agree with others and suggest you contact a vet that specialises in pigeons
Shortcut Lofts Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Seen this before mate, I put it down to Paratyphoid. Birds go down on their legs and cant even get of the floor with wings spread. I seen it in 2007 when i did the birds with paratyphoid injection and soon after Paramixo injection, nearly wiped me out. Baytril will bring the birds round but it will be slower second time round and some birds will perish. Best to get checked by a vet who knows what they are talking about.
madmaxlofts Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Posted June 8, 2011 ill try and get some baytrilthanks all
