King billy 2 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 With hold feed for 24hr add cinnamon garlic powder + polarity spice to barely with lime dues feed them up very light any that has not whent to feed pout away that only for ybs but if it's a secondary infection then antibiotics will be needed should be on the mend in 7 days if only ybs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 i have personally never had ybs,so was wondering what fanciers first steps are with dealing with the illness??as i can not answer this having never had ithow do you go about dealing with it? atb I wonder also. Fortunately never having had it .. or my birds lol. Further I wonder many, many, times These birds that get over it, DO their' youngster still get it? If so then they answer lies somewhere in their constitutions and poor immunity surely. Indeed do the same birds get it again? A quite knowledgeable fancier once said. 'Cocci, going light etc. means many panic and say / fear it's Y/B sickness because Y/B sickness seems all the rage now'! Food for thought as does Y/B sickness get the blame for much else?

BLACK W F Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 it depends when its caught at very early stage or later I aint never had it but seen it in other lofts and if caught early birds start improving after 2nd day of treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNSEE Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 My birds are only now recovering from Y.B.S. after seven days of treatment,I will however carry on with the treatment for a few days yet.I had y.b.s.4 years ago and with help from a fellow fancier they began to pick up after a couple of days what I found this time is it came virtually overnight ok on thursday night feed,went to the loft on friday morning seed every where,green slimey droppings put on treatment the same day but it seamed to be a stronger version of Y.B.S.I had heard that fanciers that had it earlier were finding birds were dying from this,I have also experienced this with 3 dying and me destroying 2..........it has been 1 helava week but the birds are looking good after seven days....has any other members found that Y.B.S.is becoming stronger like it has mutated with some other stronger virus...JBC/...

This year was quite mild compared to the last few. I have never had them die but that's because of culling early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I had same problem with mine.Had them at first race then next day knew something was wrong.They wouldn't fly any length of time and a few were sick and retainging food in their crops also some with spongy crops as they were full of water.I treated for 7 days with Harkers Adenoplus after which I sent dropping samples and crop swabs to De Weerdt which came back as slight Cocci and slight Canker which I treated for.The pigeons are looking 100% better but I feel its to late to try and train them for anymore races as we only have one race left.

philg50 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Look it up online type in how to treat yb sickness you see it there, it also dose work too clrears up in 30 hrsIMO no virus will clear up that quick ,i think you cure the symptoms and the bird is on its way to recovery but the viral infection takes time and the bird takes a little patience and time to recover ,this treat one week and race the next leaves room for spreading problem.
