Wiley Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Reading up on the past international and national winner and noticed his canker treatment is out of the ordinary, by putting two 500mg flagyl tablets dissolved in two litres of water. Has anyone tried this? How effective did you feel the treatment was?

Has anyone tried this? How effective did you feel the treatment was?I use the flagyl tablets for canker but not in the same way.I give each bird half a tablet each.You can get them for a couple pounds and can do 80 birds per packet.

Has anyone tried this? How effective did you feel the treatment was? I've done that with my yb's Ryan but never got them tested so dont know if it done them any good or not? I have also used a tablet crusher to turn them into powder and put them on the feeding along with a little oil at times aswell..I got the 500mg tabs the last time i was in Turkey 2 years ago i think i got 6 boxes still got a couple left yet but i will get more when we go back this year after the racing
Wiley Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Posted January 13, 2013 Steve, I also do the same as you. I thought the way Andre was very unconventional, and was seeing if anyone done something similar to Andre dissolving the tablets, it only works out 1g per 2 litres, when most metrondizole medications are 5g per 2 litres for example.

The powder on the grain sounds a great idea

The powder on the grain sounds a great idea I just do it with the yb's too much hassle catching them to give them all 1/4 of a tab so after buying a tablet cutter i noticed it had the crusher on it too so i just crush 2 or 3 tablets depending on how many yb's i am treating and mix it on the grub with a little oil

SteveThey are a slightly cheaper in Turkey but you get 500mg tabs for just over 4 lira and you get 2.70 lira to the pound just now so a good deal compared to here I have got them from Spain aswell no probs but we have went to Turkey for our hols the last 4 or 5 years :emoticon-0157-sun:
Guest bigda Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 yes that would be the correct dosage for 20 birds, but it would be for 5 pints of water
walterboswell59 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 i all so put them in drinker 3 tabs for a 3 pint 5 for a 5 pint iput them a jug with boiling water stir till they melt dont get canker so it must work to alf where did you get them in turkey daughter could not get for me there thanks

harry h Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Is metronidazole(Flagyl) an antibiotic and if it is, way give it to your birds if they don't need it?
andy Burgess Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Is metronidazole(Flagyl) an antibiotic and if it is, way give it to your birds if they don't need it?it is an antibiotic Harry
Guest geordiejen Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 pretty sure flagyl and metronidozole is the same thing.just a different name.giving the birds garlic regularly should keep canker at bay.i wouldnt advise anyone on using antibiotics on a regular basis.if your birds dont have a canker problem then i wouldnt use it.
Wiley Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 Flagyl is just a brand name for metrondizole, same as Baytril being a brand name for enroflux

Has anyone tried this? How effective did you feel the treatment was? think this just weakens the treatment and would make canker immune to it
Tony C Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 I think you have to be very sceptical of this. I believe you can get liquid flygal but you must also add vinegar to the water to help it suspend (for a better word) in the water.
walterboswell59 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 guys what are yous on about the post was does flagyl tabs mixed in water work my self and other guys who have used it for years have said it works fine and how we use it flagyl is for bladder infections in humans how do iknow this ive taken it to boots pharmacy and asked what it was for and you can get here but you need a note from a doctor allso do not put vinegar in drinkers with any pigeon med as it will kill the med stone dead vinegar is acetic acid if your useing flagyl liquid mix two teaspoons in to a two liter milk carton give it a shake empty your drinker feed your birds then fill drinker while the birds are thirsty job done
