Delboy Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Do you treat Del or do you let it run its course Ive used a few things in the past Vinnie, the fatal YBS was only ever cured by Adenosan. ( sometimes poured right over their throat ) In recent years, nifurymicin or Vetramox for secondary infections ( only if needed) If very mild, starved for a day and left alone for a few days.

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Me !!!. Naw. After excercising for an hour the Old Birds would land and one would start gasping and the rest would follow suit so I said to C.J.Williams who I Loft Managed for that I would take a dozen birds up to Lancaster and have them checked out by Garry. Nothing could be found medically with them but I took some of his bitter stimulant tonic away with me and within a day or two they all stopped their gasping. I never did get to the bottom of the problem but it never returned. I have never felt the need to visit Garry Spavin again But if a case arose I would not hesitate to phone him. By the way Mr Hunter, Garry puts most ailments down to over use of Antibiotics.. "To be perfectly honest George I dont know what respiratory is !!, I thought it had to do with birds gasping with open beaks and sought advice from Garry the Herbalist from Penrith when employed by C.J. but no problems were identified so I tried this trick. The birds were forced to fly an extra 5 minutes every day with me on the loft roof with a double barrel shotgun. After a week they were flying round the loft for maybe 45 minutes and all the gasping dissapeared." -Peter Pandy I thought it was the above tonic that solved that problem Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenlands Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I know Geoff Cooper lets feed that's been spewed up get eaten by others so they all get the virus and the YBS is over and done with. He reckons after 2 weeks they are fighting fit again. He gets it every year and doesn't see it as a problem as long as its before the season. Hi Del,I would have thought letting birds eat regurgitated food would only pass on a secondary problem rather than a virus,that's why I like using pellets at such a time,easy on the digestive system and nothing to eat should they throw it back up.??

I'm one of those in the mismanagement category Del,get it every season and try something different every season,get the odd one or two holding corn,never bad enough to be sick to the extent of being a perch full but it goes through the loft at one degree or the other,some appear to have missed but IMO they are not right in the head ?? Two or three days on a very light diet fed several ties a day,probably not feed them at all for the first two days.I sit with my youngens when I feed them and watch to see how fast the eat any that's fussy are suspect.Seems to start when they do something out of the ordinary the previous day or two,flying longer than usual,odd on landing on the house roof,all suspect.JMO.

Wiley Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Really is young bird sickness a major problem? The 15-16 years experience of it, after the illness the young birds always hit a major form and continued that way to the season end?
