I’m not sure it is chlamydia Pete so maybe get a test but that’s not a £15 job
I think doxycycline is prescribed for it if it is
I had a pigeon reported two years ago 40 miles away a good one flown out I picked it up in awful condition from a non fancier I thought it would be dead by the time I got home or next morning at best
it couldn’t stand dropping like green water
I used amoxicillin and in 3 days it was standing and eating
I got some amoxicillin in powder form. I was hoping for tablets but I think blind treating will be a bit risky. She was eating well again today, but then most of the time hunched and her wings shaking like she was shivering. Wattles clean, throat clear still.

I don’t know where your getting these things from Pete you need to know what your giving mate as to much can be dangerous to little no good dont get caught up into bunging loads of stuff into them make sure its the right product at the correct dose
Best of luck with your bird
Thanks Neil. It was one of those ‘you need a bag of this just in case mate’ situations. I’m determined not to go down the antibiotic flock treatment route in any event, but if there’s something simple I can do to save a bird then of course I would, hence asking you guys.
