You can treat your flock. Buy the above product and add 1 teraspoon to 3# of seed. Coat the seed with scant amount of wheat germ oil or vegitable oil first...just enough so the powder sticks to it. Treat the flock for 5 days. You can buy pills from the same site for individual treatment...Meditrich...Spartrix.

Hi Pat,
I keep Flagyl and Spartrix for ferals with canker. The Flagyl comes in a syrup, the spartrix is a tablet but it can be crushed between two spoons and placed in the lower beak, or mixed into a paste with a little water. I once found a pigeon whose throat was so badly blocked with canker that I didn't think he would last the night. I crushed a tablet of spartrix and placed the powder in the front of the lower beak, hoping that the pigeon's saliva would wash it down to whatever crack may have been left through the esophagus. (I should have made it into a paste to reduce the possibilty of it inhaling powder). The next day half the canker had disappeared and he went on to make a full recovery. Cynthia
