Is there any medicine or supplements I could give my two pigeons to keep them healthy?

Before medicating, first try natural products. Add some natural unfiltered apple cider vinegar to the drinking water for a couple of days. 5 ml acv to 1 litre of water. This creates a hostile environment for bad bacteria. Followed up by probiotics that you can get from a petshop.

Have they been dewormed and treated for coccidiosis?

I will try to put some unfiltered apple cider and vinegar to their drinking water. For probiotics, I will check my local bird supply, would anything that says: vitamins and minerals, calcium, Tetracycline... there is one more thing, but I cant make it out in the picture, I could also have interpreted the Tetracycline wrong and it could be something else. They have not been dewormed, is that something I have to take them to a avian vet or is there medicine I could use to treat them with if they do or do not have worms? Lastly for coccidiosis, should I find some Baycox (Toltrazuril) and treat them with that? Is that something I could give them if they don't have coccidiosis?

I could also go to Jedds bird supply that is 40min away from me. Or order online if I need to.

Try to get a dewormer from Jedds bird supply. I use products by Medpet, but you might not be able to get them in your country. If you can: Mediworm for dewormer. Moxidectin is also a good choice. I believe this treats external parasites as well. The Baycox will treat coccidiosis, but I've never used that. Won't hurt to treat them, even if they don't have coccidiosis. Don't give at the same time as the dewormer. Probiotics is a different product than vitamins, the label on the bottle must say probiotics for pigeons.

Never use Panacur (Fenbendazole) as a dewormer as this is toxic to pigeons.

The Mediworm tablet you need to give early in the morning before they eat. Then the crops are empty.

The 4 in 1 is no good as it does not contain enough of a specific med for treatment. Its ok to give, but eventually you will need to target the disease you are dealing with. Rather take your pigeon to an avian vet to get an accurate diagnose.

Definitely get the probiotics.

By probiotics, you mean the Enrofloxacin 10%?

No, the Enrofloxacin is the same as Baytril. A strong antibiotic one gives for Salmonella and other infections.

Get Entero-plus by Medpet. That is a good probiotic.

Keep your pigeons healthy by giving the natural unfiltered apple cider vinegar in the water once a week. Then the next day mix the probiotic in with their seeds. Coat the seeds with a bit of sunflower oil so that the powder will stick to the seeds.

Also supply them with a high calcium grit like oystershell grit.

All right, I will order Entero-plus by Medpet, and MEDIWORM TABLETS (Medpet), I have 2 pounds of pigeon grit, should I put that in their food, or on the side, if I put them in with the seeds, in what ratio of grit to seeds should I mix? I will also buy unfiltered apple cider and vinegar today. Thanks for the help.

You can put the grit in a seperate bowl and they will help themselves if need to.
