falcons

[ch pied]

hi , just been going through the post's , on a falconry forum that iam a member of  ;D , the falcon world is in termoil with a product that we as pigeon fancier's found was a doggy one , that being ( PANACUR ) , when using PANACUR to worm BOP  it not only kill's the worm's , but also the BOP in a indirect way , by leaving a gatway open to secondry infection's in a high % of case's .  they have found , loss of appetite is almost instant , bird become's listless , low white blood cell count , resulting in lowered immune system , and if not seen by a vet within 24hrs it a gonner ,  in most case's BAYTRYL is given as a cure , the falconry world are now using IVERMECTIN , same dose we use on our pigeon's , pigeon's treated with (PANACUR TAB'S or IVERMECTIN ) at the normal dose will have nil effect on BOP, but if taken directly that's another story ;)

... e falconry world are now using IVERMECTIN , Yeah of course, they have for some time, or as we are led to believe, BUT not, NOT I repeat the pour on. If only more fanciers would use that one, then much more pests to our pigeons would be removed.

The active ingredient in Panacur is Fenbendazole.

 

Fenbendazole and Albendazole are toxic to pigeons. I posted on a piece of research involving this and pigeons. It damaged the gut wall.

 

I reckon what is happening to the falcons is that it is damaging the gut wall allowing bacteria into the bloodstream. That's what the Batryl will be for, bacterial infection.
