lordcornwallis Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 got three pigeons at blackpool seemed no issue as I have had a good few over the years. two weeks ago a man came to see my pigeons he keeps pigeons on two sites , all types and breeds gets them everywhere . few days after his visit a yearling hen went bad ,got baytril from the vet and its ok now , yesterday a two year old cock died been ill as the hen was , I now have another two going the same way. when I phoned this guy he said his birds had been ill same symtoms as mine before I told him . I have had Baytril in the water since Wednesday , do you think he walked it in ?
philg50 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 I dont know if your visitor brought it in but have you treated for all basic probs prior to this ie Canker ,Worms ,Coccidiosis ,also vaccinated ,
lordcornwallis Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Posted March 9, 2018 in all honesty no , i cean my loft every day and wash my utensils . i have birds of a good age from four to seven and never treated i dont race only have 20 tipps and tumblers.

And don't allow any one into your shed
Wiley Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 Do yourself a favour get them tested with a culture test, find the right treatment for the pigeons
lordcornwallis Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Posted March 12, 2018 hope you get it sorted out . thank you.. got two still ill the rest touch wood are ok . there still on baytril and ive sent my droppings off to be tested. i'am sure it was brought in my loft by another fancier . when I called him he told me the symtoms before I told him !!
just ask me Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Getting the dead one tested might not be a bad idea
lordcornwallis Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Posted March 15, 2018 treated the birds with baytril for a week . put electrolyts in yesterday and today. gave the vet a sample last saturday still not got back to me i am very angry with the vet..my other hut all is well..
Wiley Posted March 16, 2018 Report Posted March 16, 2018 What vet have you used? If a culture has been made it takes 3-5 days to get results, it is not like a simple cocci canker worms test that you’ll receive in less then 24hrs
peter pandy Posted March 16, 2018 Report Posted March 16, 2018 BAYTRIL == I am terribly sort to say,, You have killed the entire immune system in your birds and are only reaping what you have sown.
