Has anyone else used this product as it gets everywhere, is there an alternative one that doesn't stain your hand & clothes, or are they all the same end result. It does say on the bottle that it stains skin & clothes, just awkward when doing this yourself.
Regards Dave.

There all the same mate
Pro quire one comes in a bottle with a glass pipette with a bend on the end so you can control the drops a bit easier
You can get them for next to nothing on eBay etc
Or put the yellow drops on some seeds and remove the water
Only trouble is I like to put it in the wattle and the seed way obviously it won’t run through the nasal passages

Hello Mike, is that the same sort of thing as Nazaline, & is that not the same as it once was/ diluted & not the same as the original ingredients.

The yellow drops are marketed as being effective against canker - Nazaline's a different product entirely
Now Nazaline's a top quality product when used at the right time in the right way

I use yellow drops I do think you need to do it regular one of my best team performances was when I used it 3 times in 36 hours and raced from 200 miles they fell in
I only just started with Nazaline on Mikes advice I wouldn’t not use it now it’s in my schedule 5 times in old bird starting the 8th of April
I followed Mikes advice on the time of the week to use it and glad I did as I would have e got it wrong

It might be a bit unfair of me to say I'm not convinced by the yellow drops because I've never used them - but to be honest if I was racing now I still think I'd serve them. I just prefer to treat for canker another way
I do like products inhaled straight in the nostril or into ther throat though.
You know exactly what's having what

There's various opinions on yellow drops, I understand.
Dr Colin Walker, the pigeon vet, strongly dislikes them, Ad Schaerlaeckens thinks they are good.
They are based on Acriflavine and yes, they make a hell of a mess.
