Hi Splat, I am glad the vet is in control and that the Chemist is helping too. I hope it is only a case of Cocci and that the birds respond. I'll keep an eye on this topic. All the best.

So sorry to hear that splat :mellow: Hope everything gets sorted out .

 

Hope you are okay

UPDATE REPORT: Birds are looking good at this stage, there are about 4 that look iffy, but it is hard to tell because they are going through their 1st molt and it is hard on them, I don't remember the babies looking this bad last year.

Any way I should know what's going on by the end of the week end.

They are still under the vets care and on Meds. :ausb:

 

Thank you everyone for caring it has been a great help while going through this.

Glad to see you on the right side of the problem. Any word on what is was or what could prevent it?

No Daz, I took over some droppings off the ones that look a bit iffy and some off the ones in the flight and still nothing conclusive. Needs a dead one for the autopsy but I am not going to sacrafice one yet till I know for sure it is going to die.

So he wants me to continue with the trimidine treatmeant. Then another test if still showing signs of illness.

At the moment they are on there 3 day break and I start again tomorrow for another 5 days. That must be the cycle for the coccidiosis. :ausb:

coccidiosis is a full course. Karen can tell you about that. What is trimidine? Is it an antibiotic or a fungicide?

 

I'll goggle it to see what is comes up with.

 

It's a sulphure base Antibiotic.Information on it.

Splat... i really hope the treatment stops this outbreak and you dont loose anymore

I'm thinking of you and your bubs!

Thanks Guys, keep you all informed

how terrible and sad to see your young ones die so early in life , Hugs

frisky

Very sad to read of your troubles.

I completely understand what you are going through.

I lost alot of birds in 03/04 to Megabacteriosis and in January this year I lost a bunch more to Psittacosis.

My fingers are crossed for you that things continue to look up.

How are things splat?

UPDATE: Well I gave the birds their last dose of Trimidine, it has been 2 weeks and 2 days since the last bird died, have had some in hospital cages looking crook but now they are in isolation cages.

 

All birds are looking fine at this stage, so I have my fingers crossed that I have fixed the problem.

The vet adviced me to start then on apple cider vinigar in their water as this fights off lots of things. I use to give to my horse when I had him.

But still watching closely

Thats great to hear. I use Apple Cider vinegar at a cup cap per litre of water.

wrong measurement

Daz the vet told me 10ml to 1 litre of water. Is that about the same as you, do you give it to all the birds including the breeding ones?

good to hear this news splat

that is great news and l'm glad that it looks like you situation is getting better with each day that goes bye

Thanks birdluv, I am so happy but Still taking one day at a time because it could be still lurking around yet, But boy I hope not.

Nearly all my babies are starting to moult and that's when it hit the others so time will tell.
