If you have any nystatin give the bird two drops down the throat and the rest 2ml/litre of water for 3 to 4 days.

I dont have any of the stufF . But will try a shot of live probiotic yogurt down the hatch first.

charcoal capsules from Holland and Barrett (you need to open the capsule and empty contents down throat)

 

and I think you should be able to get charcoal tablets from most chemists

 

I would continue with the cider vinegar also (1 or 2ml direct in to crop - that is a couple of drops) but try and empty youngsters crop of stagnant water first

Correct Sue,most chemists sell the tabs,rather large so I break them in half.

[andy Burgess]

theres good advice "blue lad" ,i would follow that too.

[OLDYELLOW]

100 charcoal TABLETS boots the chemist £3.11 I think they were usually in the digestion section

Nothing wrong with the advice given above BUT should the pigeons condition suddenly deteriorate and die (or any of your other pigeons show the same symptoms) get one of to a vet asap. There's being something knocking around where pigeons drink to excess and keel over in very quick time.

Gave half tab & emptied the crop first before giving the tab.will try a few drops of cyder ving aswell poor thing it came from top nic to lookin like me after a nite on the tiles in the space of a nite .

possibly picked up something out the gutters

with all this rain weve had everythings been disturbed

seen this myself a couple of times the birds last only 1 or 2 days

 

only other thing ive seen like was when some of my birds while picking about in the neighbours garden picked up either mouse poison or slug pellets

result was the same

sorry to hear this Steve, doesnt look good for the other too ?? can you consult an avain vet soon ? best of luck ,hope you get it sorted pal.

[Guest IB]

Agree with ALF on this one. When birds start dying on you it becomes a case of making sure the others are safe. A bird as sick as that becomes a danger to the rest. Safer to dispose of it, then do a thorough clean & disinfection job throughout the whole loft.

Have birds been vaccinated against PMV?

There appears to be outbreaks of the disease
