YB sickness

what should i look for to see if i have it ?

how should i treat it ??

and is there a way of to stop getting it again ?

birds holding corn/not digesting it........sick, and watery droppings. treatment nifuramycin antibiotics, its the quickest and best way to treat.

p.s. i dont think theres any way to stop them getting it again tho`.................

ill watch them see if they throw any corn up

the first signs are birds not listening or traping acting dopey or a little distant then comes the spongey crop ,holding corn and vomitting but sometimes the other birds will eat this and you dont see it also the birds wont exercise as well as usual

i got a few now with green dark watery droping and some have dropped gt ocrn on the perches o well i best get them sorted i ant sending to my first race now i ant losing them to mess them up no more

right what should i do to get rid of it and what should i buy and were from

i,ve been told i,m wrong about this but i heard they only get it once,has anyone had it twice in the same year.if so i will love to know as i will put it to the bloke who told me ..i have never had it twice in one season myself

well i got it and i got 2 weeks to get them fit before i race at 70miles so i need to know what to buy and how to sort them out please all

keep the corn off them for a start..do,nt feed them tomorrow,then slowly introduce wheat or depuritive.but very small amouths ,i.ll find out thee whole programme i did and get back to you...mine where horrilbe but i put them right and believe me they look great now

only corns i have in widowhood , gerry pluss and bamfords all rounder

so what one i use ?

the quickest and cheapest way is , first off no feed for about 36 hrs compleatly empty there crop
then go and buy some charcoal tablets from boots chemist break 1in half and put it straight down there throat
morning and night then after 36 hrs start to feed them on a light feed then build back up slowly also i would put some glucose and honey in there drinker for a couple of days , good luck .

none chris,,keep it off them untill you can get some depurative

none chris,,keep it off them untill you can get some depurative

i,ll get the imfor tomorrow and get back to you

i kept mine off food for 48 hrs, might seem a bit extreeme but it did them no harm and it completely empties the crop........i then fed super diet at about half oz per bird first just to get them eating and digesting again, also a tip which ian gave me is to remove all grit and minerals whilst treating....

chris the easiest way to treat is to buy some nifuramycin off ebay for about a fiver a packet..............

looked none on there

should be i got some recently............i`ll have a look for you

chris, i bought some the other week and ebay removed the advert, the seller still sent me it but maybe they have removed all ads for nifuramycin.................if you look at this link the seller usually sells it so i would message him and ask....

ok mate how long it take you to get it ?

2 days chris, but it wasnt from this seller..............ebay removed him from my bought list so i dont now who it was but i do have his email address, and he was honest enough to send me it.

if you look at this spain seller he is a trusted seller.

2days sooooo long away

all i can suggest is doing the charcoal treatment then chris, its better than nothing i suppose but i dont know if it will actually do anything.

never heard of it haha

what ? charcoal...?

yer i heard of it but how it ment to work on a bird lol
