Racing Pigeon Diseases and Ailments .
By  +wynand wolmarans
When a pigeon become sick or the loft performance is poor we always grab for the bottle.Sometime we give the right medication , most other times we guess because we don't know which medicine to give for what disease, or for how long and when to follow up the treatment .
Firstly we find out what is wrong before we grab for the bottle , then we can commence with the treatment .

PARATYPOID  AND SELMONELLA
Paratypoid have 3 forms
1) intestinal form
2) Nerve form
3) joint form
If a pigeon got Paratyphoid it can be cured , but some birds never got sick and is carriers of the disease .
did you know most birds are carriers of this disease and so is rats and mice . Paratyphoid can be transmitted through water, food , droppings and urine .
You can inoculate all the birds before the Racing Season and even in the Racing Season. The best is to do the treatment and then inoculate your birds . ( I USE autogenous bacterin--aluminium hydroxide )

PARATYPOID  AND SELMONELLA symptoms we can see on pigeons and loft
1) INTESTINAL FORM. Lots of watery droppings
2) NERVE FORM. Balance loss and neck turning
3) JOINT FORM. Hang wing and limping leg
4) Pigeon droppings sticking to tail feathers is the first symptom i check for when handling a pigeon.
5) From a race they will come two or three together with a good following up but 10 to 15 min late on result  
    sheet and loosing birds every week
6) Breeding birds leave the nest for no reason
7) Breeding birds leave the eggs when the eggs start to hatch.
8) Babies die in the nest at age of 5 to 7 days for no reason.
9) Bent keel on youngsters . BENT KEEL CAN BE FIXED BEFORE THE AGE OF 26 DAYS WITH B1 ( THIAMINE) AT LEAST 5 mg  PER PIGEON FOR 3 TO 5 DAYS.
10) Eggs.... dead in shell .
11) Stock Cocks not fertile at early age ( inoculate with autogenous bacterin--aluminium hydroxide )
12) Stock Hens that that stopped laying eggs ( inoculate with autogenous bacterin--aluminium hydroxide )

PARATYPOID  AND SELMONELLA treatment
1) Assume the whole loft have the disease and treat them immediately for 4 days.I use a 4 in 1 mix .
2) The first treatment must be at least 3 weeks before your first race.
3) Follow up treatment must then be once a month for two days .The treatment must be trough out the racing season. REMEMBER TAKE OUT ALL GRIT AND BLACK MINERALS DURING TREATMENT.

WITH AN OUTBREAK  OF PARATYPOID  AND SELMONELLA
1) B COMPLEX  supplement , SODIUM ( I PUT LICORICE SWEETS STRIPS  IN HOT WATER TO DISSOLVE). WITH EXTRA VIT B1 ( THIAMINE) AT LEAST 5 mg  PER PIGEON.
2) Inoculate all the birds with autogenous bacterin (aluminium hydroxide ) made in California
