One of my pigeons was recently diagnosed with canker. Although there is no mucous buildup in its throat, his posture is definitely penguin-like after eating, and his activity level has dropped significantly. Thankfully the canker has not reached dangerous levels, and the vet believes he'll get better within a few days of administering the medication. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks, this is really informative, somehow this makes me hopeful that my budgie would still survive, it's already been a month since he started having canker. I've thought that he started recovering in his two weeks of medication, cuz his mouth starts to clear and poop starts to normalize as well, but 4 days after his recovery he started vommiting again and start having a diarrhea hope he still manages to endure until he recovers again
tried saving one but it was too far gone the vet said, i dont know it was canker but the mass on its neck was alarmingly big and it wasn't as strong as a month ago.. the vet put it down (it was a wild pigeon) but i am not sure if more could have been done, it looked very weak but like it wanted to eat (or trying) but regurgitating its food alot
There is a pigeon I feed whose head shakes wildly when trying to swallow. Should I capture it and take it to a vet? What do you think it could be? Thanks.
Another great video thanks for all your contributions I was run apple cider vinegar in the water in a cycle also some clay dietary clay or diatomaceous earth alternatly, 1 week on 2 to 3 weeks off.
Mouth is the most common place, but it can appear in a few places, like the belly button and internal organs. Vets will often to a crop wash to check levels.
I "saved" a pigeon for a day - a young one, seemingly fine (both wings were flapping about), but also displaying signs of tiredness. I figured I would take it in, give it some food and water, and let it be off once rested enough. It didn't want to eat or drink, and sadly the next day it really struggled to breathe (on deaths doorstep at this point) and I had to stop it from dying a very slow and nasty death to what I would later discover was caused by this "canker" infection. The poor thing. I wish I had known about it beforehand, but I think I was too late. I saw the infection for myself when it struggled to take breaths and wasn't sure how to treat it. I still don't know how exactly, but if it ever happens again, I'd like to be able to help them actually get better. From what I have read so far, it's treatable with mainly carnidazole and/or apple cider vinegar in its water. Suppose I'll have to figure out how to forcefeed a pigeon that won't eat or drink - which I also see is a symptom of canker. Awkward. If anyone has experience in force-feeding these treatments to pigeons that don't want to eat or drink because of canker, please let me know, so I can be of better help the next time around. Little thing deserved better than going out like that.
I need help feeding my pigeon. He isn't eating or drinking on his own anymore. I am unable to hold his beak open to put mashed food or water. Some bits do get in but definitely not enough. Also what easily found medication can I give him? Please help.
hi!! just wanna ask if a cured pigeon from canker is still a potential carrier of tricho even after getting treated? cause i read in some site says that most of the medicines don't completely eradicate tricho.. and the said medicine (Berimax) which is suppose to kill even the lowest level of tricho is not avail in my country.. if so, what is the best thing to do? cause im a little worried that my other pigeons got infected.. ty in advance..

My Dutch ass was expecting a meme but I got educated instead

Yes, acv in water help prevent canker. i use 5-8 cc/liter once a week
I can remember as a teenager, seeing this in my birds and I had no idea what it was
tried saving one but it was too far gone the vet said, i dont know it was canker but the mass on its neck was alarmingly big and it wasn't as strong as a month ago..

Just found a bird with white dots in his mouth was told canker. Come straight here for advice and info. Very helpful
Thanks Louie. I'll probably have a stock hen for you in a month or two, just want to get a round out of her first.
@@AdamArcherPigeons that's would be appreciated good sir 🙂🎩

Hmm is it still having the problem?

How do you compute the dosage of metronidazole for each birds? I have a bird that weighs 650grams. I have 100mg metronidazole capsules.
You will need to read the instructions of the drug.
@@AdamArcherPigeons the packaging only says 1pill per bird per day for 5-7 days. There's no weight mentioned haha
Thanks for your advice
Thanks for very informative information. Could white spots located in the air way also be canker?
Could be, but you're always best to get an accurate diagnosis from a vet
@@AdamArcherPigeons thanks
Please make a video on pigeon breathing problems (causes) and treatments thank you
Yes, I am in the process of writing a video on respiratory illness, but it is a complex topic so may take a while.
Does the canker only show in mouth ?.How a the droppings watery and whitetish with bubbles or is that more worms symptoms.

Almost all pigeons carry a small amount of trich, it is really only a problem when they're stressed and their immune system can't cope.
Hey how do i help a wild dove having canker disease?
I can't catch the bird but i can try to provide her with medicine..
