Canker Treatment

[tori.no. nail]

Has anybody noticed after treating with Travipharma 5% KUUR+ young birds brought up corn next morning?

 

No watery droppings what so ever.

[just ask me]

never used the product but dont think i heard anything like that

[REDCHEQHEN]

It's 5% Ronidazole and it can be given to babies in the nest - so sickness will have nothing to do with the medication

 

I'd say to keep an eye on your birds as it might be 'something else'

only treatment i know that makes birds sick is when worming , as Redcheqhen says it can be used on babies and only 5% , from vets its 10% , lots of things can cause birds to be sick such as lodged seeds / grains or even stress

I remember reading certain canker treatments do make the birds sick. Can't really remember where. But Vets' Tips for Fanciers p140, talking about treating with metronidazole warns fanciers: 'watch out that the pigeons do not vomit just after you give them the tablet'.

 

That sounds to me like a quarter tablet of Flagyl?

[just ask me]

has anyone seen the birds what did they think

[Guest big slim]

Im using it now on young birds. NO sickness.

thanks for reply,i thought at first it was young bird sickness ,but symptoms did not work out.so i put it down to the canker treatment.inow have them on apple cider vinegar in their water,they are not being sick at this moment.plus their on a light diet.they were on their 8th training toss when it happened,maybe stress always seem to happen when things are going well.winning 1st and 2nd last old bird race from bonn in germany 460 miles.its all sent to try us.thanks viv, tori. no. nail.

This is the drug used to treat Helicobacter Pilori in Humans, it causes vomiting in many people, Not everyone but a lot so it could i suppose be making Some doos sick and not others
