Respiratory treatment

What do you use for Respiratory for birds

I've used clearway in the past Phil, but to be honest it just smells like vinagar and has a few bits of green stuff floating in it.
I would like to find a natural respitory aid that I could get on the cheap and knock up myself.

Years past used lincospectin, sorted mine. This was only available on prescription from a vet, probably same applies today.

Nazaline and and plenty fresh air is my choice.

Too many to mention antibiotics and natural products on the market just search for them and you can order over the internet mind boggling

now you started phil lol ...doxycycline is the most kind to the bird least harsh as a antibiotic also belga thai and ornisol are good and can be used together for upper and lower respiratory ...as a preventative mycoform t is good ,nazaline will clear the airways after winter lockdown to but be prepaired for its effects on some of the birds just after administration if you have a respiratory infection then you have to treat with a antibiotic I am afraid if its a repeated problem then I would look at your own ventilation

vinegar & salt in a large tub of warm water and dunk them for few seconds, they snot everything up and out, no antibiotics. just the way been taught

glad somebody heard of it mate, thought I was out on my own there

hard to get now redrog thanks to the bomb makers ...theirs various stuff out their to clear the mucus membranes without using a antibiotic but if the infection is bacterial then its either treat or heaven

You can still get condis crystals (potassium pananganate)
On eBay, I still use it if they've been missing for a while.

used to order off our chemist for bath water but they wont get it in anymore still have some left as you know its economical to use

Why do you put it in the bath water Darren

Potassium permanganate is available in any aquarist shops, they use it for koi mostly, I always had some here when I bred tropical discus, cheap as chips it is ( although chips ain't cheap anymore lol)

Shag on a rock moment their Redrog I suspect. Before Vet's come on the scene type of thing wanting your money etc some weird & wonderful potions were discovered by flyers in desperation in treating there birds for very little money as such. These days one requires a Visa card "plastic money" for what they expect you to pay now sadly.

Sliepsanol is a good natural redpitory treatment to clear the nasal passages.
My dad used to swear by it.
He used to use it sometimes on the run up to a big race.

You can give a vaccine to pigeon for respiratory treatment after expert’s opinion. Mycoform-T a respiratory aid which has a carefully selected blend of 100% natural extracts known to be of exceptional benefit to the respiratory system of a pigeon to Respi-Clear Soluble which helps treat mucus congestion in racing & show pigeons.

Miguel have you used Mycoform-t on your birds.
it's good that all the ingredients seem to be natural.

whats the best and easiest way to treat for respiratory, without using antibiotics, something you can just buy from the pigeon / pet shop ?

First question Little Hen Do you have respiratory issues there in your loft etc & also do you race your birds. Now not fully clued up on your banned substances there but certain over the counter Pharmacy type medication's for humans with Bromhexine in them for coughs/colds could be worth a thought I would suggest.

these natural remedies for respiratory like mycoform t etc...don't actually do much apart from clear minor mucous on the birds membranes ...theirs upper and lower respiratory diseases its a difficult one to deal with when it comes calling I know a lot say about blind treating but if you have respiratory problem I would treat for both with belga thai and ornisol both belgica de weerd products then you have covered upper and lower and mucus membranes in the one hit ...don't get respiratory problems but of course in the basket they can pick up anything
