Try him with a quarter tab of metronadinozole miss a day then give him another quarter on third day available from a vet ,sounds like canker

Have also brought birds back from the dead by giving them 2 drops of pure baytril on there tongue for three days miracle cure ,good luck

AND IF NEITHER OF THOSE WORKS DUSTY BIN IS CALLING FOR IT

Has he been flying out recently? if so, he may have picked something up, I would isolate him from the other birds and treat as been suggested, if no improvement within 2 days, then I would dispose of him.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Good luck.

Totally agree with this had the same thing the doo had a bit off sour crop too starved the doo for 2 days until crop was empty only water with metronadinozole the doo was right as rain in 3-4 days

Old birds can get 'young bird sickness' as well

 

I am no expert - but since when has throwing up and green slimey droppings been a sign of canker

 

Isolate - certainly

 

It is as likely to be 'young bird sickness' with secondary infections (e-coli, yeast etc) and if the bird means anything to you - it needs to be attended to by a vet

Well to bringing corn back up suggests a digestive problem if wont go down it comes up , so I would isolate the bird clean and disinfect the area this birds been ill , give a charcoal tablet starve 24 hours give only water and another charcoal tablet then feed a light feed with live natural yoghurt , it's my opinion the dropping are only the result of the digestive system stopping working once gut normality is restored the droppings will return to normal , if no change by 3rd day I would canker

Tend to agree. Treatment isn't possible until crop empties naturally, there's no absorption there. Losing weight likely to be dehydration, bird is not getting water or food through its gut - that's what the green slimey droppings are about. Isolate pigeon without food for 24 hours - but make sure it has access to water.

thanks for the advice lads, i opened the shed door this afternoon to let them out for exercise,the past few days this bird hasnt gobne out wth them but today to my surprise it did go out and flew around with them for a while though it was first to land.

i gave it an appertex tab for Coccidiosis 2 days ago maybe this helped and just to be on the safe side i gave it a 1/4 flagyl tab today. will keep an eye on it for the next few days. oh and no corn on his perch this morning at all,and just a few pieces of corn yesterday morning,the few morninngs before that there was a lot of corn.so heres hoping. thanks again.

I would still isolate it, until you are convinced it has fully recovered m8, as you don,t want other birds eating the regurgitated corn, which could pass on any infections. jmo

[Ulsterman]

yes your probably right,will do that tomorrow,. atb.

i think being an antibiotic that it should only be used as a cure

[Roland]

Have had the corn on perches sometimes.

Just carried on as normal. Soon bad to norm. Yes first off I was anxious, but 4 years on, have never had any last, or bad effects from / because or after. But that doesn't mean you should seek advice, please do. Better 'Safe than Sorry' i guess... but more importantly 'Peace of Mind'.

[budgie]

Bin it no matter what it has done.Look at your stock book check what its off and i bet you there are not many left.

[Guest geordiejen]

baytril should clear ybs but you must remember its a very powerful antibiotic,best to use something more specific for ybs and usually it all starts with stress,damp corn and it can be a mixture of bacterial and viral infection that runs the bird down.adult birds can get this too but its much more common in youngins as their immune system has not fully functional until a few months old.

[just ask me]

how is the bird now
