Have you tried Calcium and Magnisium supplementation, Dr Brokamps product is especially for wing lock and that's two of the main components. Personally if no sign of Improvement After 48 hours I'd expect Streptaccocal infection but that is my opinion.

 

 

'Funnily' enough I have had an e-coli AND streptococcus infection My treatment was - METRONIDAZOLE

Every possibility that could be the answer.

1/4 tablet I believe

why medicate birds if they were fine ????

I have for many years vaccinated on leaving the nest followed up with one spot and QUARTER tablet Metrodinazol at the same time and can only repeat once again never had any problem. This is my first attempt at basket training and will probably be the last.

Perhaps executing what I did in the past I have never noticed as they were not at a stage of flight and tended to concentrate together in a corner for a good number of days. Their is no body loss but the wings when opened do not snap back as normal.

They Metronadozal tabs are as strong as Anti's get Peter.

 

Have had the misfortune of being hospitalised with bleeding ulcers twice in the past. The cause of the ulcer is a bacteria known as Helicobacter Pylori and the most effective cure is Metronadozal with Amoxicilin combined.

The Metronadozal made me more sick than the Ulcers and it took days before i was on the mend from it. They coupled the Amoxicilin with another Anti to clear the bacteria but i was still suffering from using the Metronadozal for days afterwords, really really sick feeling and made my gut feel like it was on fire.

Hopefully in a few days it will have washed out yer doos system and all will be well again. I recommend you go back to your old ways and you don't get this problem again.

Just as an add on, old guy next door was put on them earlier this year and was totally convinced he was gonna die. When his missus asked me in after telling me his sypmtoms i told him about the drug before he even mentioned what he was on and he was dumbfounded that i identified it, but it makes you so sick in the stomach yer fit for nothing, imo the same MUST apply to doos. Personally i would NEVER use that no matter who advised me to, not for myself and defo not for something that weighs less than a pound in weight. jmo mate.

2 weeks back as we had finnished with old birds caught all the young uns

 

vaccinated wing stamped and ivomectined them and left in basket till following saturday fed and watered there. Took panniers outside and let the birds out who then went up and flew for 30 to 40 mins then down and iin ,the following day they were of touring for a few hours and no ccramped wings here . you might find they were starting to come down with sommit when you vaccinated but wasnt showing , canny see a 1/4 metronizadol doing any harm to cause wing damage . Now of saying that 2 ooff the 64 yb took a re action to the vaccine , and started to shake uncontrolably , ones head swelled up to about 4 times the size in sseconds and one lost power in legs went paralysed , booth have come back round now but taken a week , the bird with the swollen head is still slightly swollen with fluid .I though booth were going to die as they could harldly breath seconds after jagging but breathing returned to normal the next day .
