A friend and fellow fancier has a couple of birds down with one eye cold.Would like to know the reason for it and cures.His loft is by-far cleaner than most.
Thank You

Hi Jimm. In my opinion improper ventilation. The cure is doxicycline mixed with Tylan for 10 days.

To Jimm. Find someone who smokes TOBACCO and ask them to take a mouthfull of smoke and hold it in their mouth for a minute. Then spit in the birds affected eye. Make sure the bird blinks and works the saliva into the eye by holding the birds head on it's side for a minute or so. The nicotine will fix it in less than an hour. Then set about correcting that ventilation. Remember that warm air rises and will condense on the ceiling if things are not right??????

Jimm agree with proper ventilation you will never get one eyed colds. Drafts are ok too. Just keep out the moisture or rain, snow etc. Try it. Lets race. Bye Billy

Here is another one that also works.Dairy farmers,the cows that are milking sometimes get tit infections.They use an antibiotic in a plastis seringe and inject it into the tit to clear it up.Pardon my spelling,the infection is called Mastitis.Now you can buy it off the shelf at any farmers supply depot.Now shake it up good and squese one droplit out of the seringe into the birds eye.May have to do this 2-3 times but the active ingreedient in the med will clean up the one eye cold.A vet told me this and they will use this for pink eye in cattle as well.I have been doing this for years with no bad effects.

Cows Ehh. Dont know about them but, I had a girl friend with a similar problem once.

Tom

I never get 1 eye colds in my lofts.But do have a couple old boys with large wattles and eye ceres that at times get the odd piece of shit in their eyes and will cause infection if I don't see this in time and wash their eyes out with warm water,,spoiled dam birds.Thanks for explaining the tit thing..

I am sure the Mastitis Onitment works on all kinds of infections. Eyes, even cuts - but pigeons seem to recover from cuts and bruises better than any living thing. The absolute worst is cat attack. I had a barn cat get into the loft and it bit a couple of birds - even though the injuries looked , not all that bad, the birds got sick and I had to put them down. I have heard that before about cat bites. My wife was attacked by a cat last year and had to get antiotics inter-venusly to cure the infection. Bad buggers - cats!

Big O, dont try to play possum. You may slip up on the French Canadians with that dumb ass approach. But dont try to shit the shitter. You are a super competitor and anybody that underestimates you gets on the second page of the race results sheet. Try again Champ. Lets race. Bye Billy

Ggeah had a great time thanks, found Mostly that the Internet places you could use - like in the USA last year let you for a few dollar connect and hence you could keep in touch - didn't allow Internet / Email. Hence scare the postings.
There the size of the manhood relates to the size of the feather in the hat worn. I couldn't find no Peacock feathers .. so didn't bother like lol, though they do take it quite serious.
