Tony C Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Herpes or Streptococci Streptococci is treatable with amoxicillin Herpes untreatable. A Vet job most definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi Craig, how long have you had pigeons pal? Are you keeping racing pigeons or fancy pigeons. Can you please take a photo of some of your birds as their stance and how the stand can help a lot also. How long have droppings been bad, and how many have died? How are the birds flying, are any lopsided when flying ect? A vet will be needed as tony said, but immediate action will also need to take place without any more fatalities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vet will be needed as tony said, but immediate action will also need to take place without any more fatalities Hi Wiley I'm in a partnership with my uncle he has had pigeons for about 30 year and this is the worst he has ever had, the pigeons seem to be standing okay but I can see a few getting bushed up so I'm not sure if they are next to go, it's been really from just before Christmas and lately the droppings have got worse, I fill the drinkers right up in the morning and by the end of the night they are empty if that could maybe say the pigeons are dehydrated, they haven't been out since November and they were flying well, too this point it's been 10 since Christmas and I think there could be more to come. Thank you for all the help guys Hello Craig if you pm your details to me if you want I will come and have a look at your birds tomorrow. Hi Billy I'm working in the morning before I'm heading to Blackpool thank you for the offer, much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie24williams49 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 dropping and crop swab kit dropped off to craig and he can take to blackpoolat the very least make sure you put electrolytes in the water every day for as long as they have the wet droppings,this will save quite a few of the birds that would have died otherwise,if it is pmv you are looking at 8 weeks duration at least...

Cultures would probably show this for the two not mentioned.. And only thing I would suggest is jag them all again when the other five are sorted out omho.
