Antibiotic Sensitivity Test.

Common Pigeon disease & treatments: Stop blind treatments

The most common health problems encountered in pigeons are canker, respiratory infection, Salmonella ,Coccidia, worms and external parasites.

We conduct a full sensitivity test that ensures  that the  bacteria are actually sensitive to  medicines precribed to treat the infection.

Resistance of some parasites to some of the more commonly used products has recently become prevalent. Many bacterial infections are becoming resistant to an increasing number of antibiotics. It is important to remember that resistance to antibiotics can make treatment of any further disease in the birds difficult. We therefore strongly recommend the testing of any sick bird/birds are treated with the appropriated medicines. Never,Never blind treat.

We recently conducted an extensive analysis report on over 30 commonly used tests. The reports showed that, on average, out of 15 different types of remedies that were tested to eradicate the disease,  50/80 % of the time, two thirds of the remedies were resistant . This is why it is so important to have a sensitivity test done.This will ensure that the correct diagnosis is made and proper treatment prescribed.
