AlphaAl Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi lads, I recently got 5 YBs in & I had them isolated from my own till I got some advice from people on here about treating them. So I got some harkers 3 in 1, I gave my 11 ybs & the 5 new ones a tab this morning. But while I was doing the 5 new ones I noticed some yellow gunk ( probs canker ) on the under side of the top beak on one of them, I checked the other 4 & couldn't see any under their beak or in their throats. What should I do, iv isolated the one with the gunk, how long does it take for the tabs to start working & should I keep the other 4 seperate or can I put them in the YB loft. Any help or advice would be great, cheersAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Burgess Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 never easy to make a diagnosis on the net Al . but from what youve told us ,isolate the 1 , keep the other 4 away from your own , if mine ,i would treat for canker (in the water for 5 days minimum ) after treatment give multi-vitamins also in the water . and the very best of luck.

Cheers Andy, the tab is for canker, but should I still give the treatment in the water, would it do them any harm ? Also what's a good multi vit to use?

Also what's a good multi vit to use?personally i would ,treat again yes , despite the fact the tablet may do its job.this may be a bit "belt and braces" ,but better safe than sorry .i use "Natural" multi-vitamin ,but there are plenty on the market .

andy Burgess Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 agree with you andy but would look on the tab box and like you say treat for cankr but with a different drugthats another good tip for a novice Davey , "to switch brands " of a canker treatment ,a diffrent brand each time seems to work much better ,and be more effective .i always pin the sachet up in the loft as a reminder of the last 1 i used .

b.massey Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah I'd try a different brand also. I naver do a Tab form (only my preference) and always in water. 5-7 days followed by 3 days multi vits and then i usually do clear water followed up with honey and garlic. As I say OMP but my birds are usually spic n span Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers lads. I have Ronidazole 10% so ill have a read of the tabs instructions & see if I can mix meds, & start giving the new birds that.
