Cocci And Canker.

[Guest geordiejen]

does anyone know of any problems that may occur if whilst treating for cocci a bird has been found with canker.i am more than half way through treating for cocci with coxoid.obviously the canker treatment is an antibiotic which shouldnt have any of the same ingredients but not sure if i should wait until the full treatment has been administered.this particular bird was brought in from a mate in november,been isolated for 2 weeks and has been in the main loft since.since canker levels can rise when a bird or 2 has symtoms i feel i must treat the whole flock.

Did you know the birds had a cocci problem before you started treating,nine times out of ten cocci is brought on by another problem such as canker.If there is a canker prob. mate I would treat for it.

You can buy a 3-1 treatment for canker worms and cocci and treat them all in one

But there should be zero percent tolerance with canker and worms

[just ask me]

some drugs can be mixed others cant be careful

no mate the cocci treatment is just routine before breeding.worming should have been next but i will leave that to last.my intention was to cocci them all,weeks break then worm them all.then canker them all when they are on eggs.my reason for this is i remember one year during the breeding season i lost a few youngsters and noticed a few of the breeding birds had canker.i treated the flock straight away but around the time after there were a few hens laid eggs which were infertile.this is why i like to treat them when the eggs have been laid.this gives the birds adequate time to reduce the volume of canker they are carrying and when the eggs hatch the transfere of canker should be low.it also gives the birds around 24 days before the second round is laid.this method worked well for me last year i had only one ring left out of 50.
