knoxjn Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 what does the limping signify do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest strapper Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 hi can anyone tell me where to get baytril from? got 2 dead today with another one limping and not flying kev looks likely its paratyphoid ...salmonela...instead of asking for baytril get the birds tested asap and get advice from the vet...i would try amoxicillin 1st b4 baytril. are they drinking more water?

Guest strapper Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 what does the limping signify do you think ? its a major sign of possible paratyhoid...also wing joints can be affected.the joint gets swollen and stiff and sometimes looks like a hard bump.most birds that are affected with wing stiffness...at this stage are no longer any good for racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev01293 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 about 10 days ago i found one dead the morning after a hawk strike when some of my birds went missing till near dark so i thought maybe stress or it hit wires(or i conned myself into thinking that)then today i walk in the loft and find a yb and 3 y/o dead,i had noticed a hen yesterday that was having trouble putting weight on her leg but put it down to her knocking it but today when i checked her over i also noticed that if i dropped her she was having trouble flying,they are not drinking any more water than usual and are eating ok? i was only saying the other day how well they looked and now this? can they be checked for paratyphoid by a droppings sample?when i looked the dead birds over they hadnt lost any weight and i couldnt see anything obvious also their crops were empty and i know they came down for feeding yesterday so they aint holding corn,im gutted, kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yes.... But very unlikely. It has to be active and in the droppings. Mostly it is the secondary symthom that registers. Have sent you a Herbist number that many swear by. By think personally I'd go for an Oxecillian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budgie Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Keep clear of Baytril let it take its course no matter what the outcome.You would be better left with no pigeons and start up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterbmasson Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Keep clear of Baytril let it take its course no matter what the outcome.You would be better left with no pigeons and start up again. definatley dont give them baytril hardens the bones try and mix a box of garden lime into 4 gallons of water stir then let water settle take from top dont disturb the water give for 6 days just add more water to existing lime and keep stirring then 2 days multivitims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev01293 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 well guys/girls thanks 4 the replies/advice,after reading more about baytril ive decided against it,i did try to get some medpet 4 in 1 powder but thats a p.o.m as well,i can get amoxicillin but it takes approx 7-10 days to be shipped to me and i cant wait that long, ive given my 3 y/o hen a tablet of amoxiclav as it contains 40mg of amoxicillin and 10mg of clavulanic acid so hopefully that will do some good while im getting the meds sorted? no dead birds today thank god but some looking down a bit,gonna ring round some vets now to see wot i can get, kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
