I have a 2yo w.hood cock that appears to have had an adverse reaction to the paramyxo virus jab.
Done all my birds at the same time and all the others appear to be ok including the young birds.
This one has gone from being my first bird back from racing for the last 2 weeks to just sitting with ruffled feathers and not listening/responding.
He has been going out with the others but goes straight up to the house roof and just sits there until the others come down and doesnt resond to my calls.
Its too much of a coincidence and to sudden for it not to be related to the jab.
Could it be the result of us jabbing him too deep or in the wrong place, if so what would be the consequences?
He is one of my birds for Pau and I dont know what I should be doing to get him back to where he was 4 days ago before the jab.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Myself I would isolate him and let him rest for a few days, few years ago I thought I had lost an hen as, as soon as she was done she just like died then after a while she started to move but as if in the death throes for want of a better explanation, what I did was wrapped her in something to stop her wings flapping about and kept dipping her beak in water next day she was moving and gradually made full recovery and following year was raced again, I know different but showing another reaction to it and recovery

Hi Zwols, didnt think it mattered when you do them.
I do them at the same time as the young birds.
Young birds were ready and I thought Id give the racers a rest before Pau. So the timing was good all round.
Is it detrimental to jab them during the season?, didnt think it was supposed to affect them normally.
A lot of ppl do theirs twice now, so they must have to do it mid season.
When do you do yours mate.....

You can jab them when you want I use to do mine every June/ July I know people that like to jab them in the season as it can they say give them a boost but I wouldn’t know if it does

Straying very slightly off topic, but hopefully something of interest to someone
I used to jab our YB on the day of the last OB race.
By doing this, not only were they able to race the YB season but they were also covered for the entire OB season as yearlings too

Sorry for the delay coming back to you Mil
I only just picked up your post.
He was jabbed with a gun mate - does that make any difference?
He is just starting to fly a bit better now.

Dave was it oil base vaccine because the gun pumps it in two quick normally n you get a reaction normally a blood growth where gun goes in u need tweezers to remove it its will look like a lump of fat as big as ya thumb nail and will leave a hole in the pigeon until it heals OK.
