thompson sam Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 That seems like good value for money buster, have you used them yourself before. If so how long until you get result from sending. Just to confirm is the cloaca the vent on a pigeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I don't know whereabouts you are Sam - but I use an avian vet in Thirsk He takes cloacal (vent) and throat swabs and reckons that they should only be looked at under a microscope when they are fresh - droppings can be sent by post to himbut not swabs - he insists that the swabs have to be fresh samples Here is a link to one of the pages on their website http://www.sandhillvet.co.uk/html/pigeon_service_management_diseases.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
