Look down its throat is there any canker. It looks like cottage cheese, It is yellow or white. Listen to its chest. Is there any rattling sounds or gruggling. give it Tony's Treasure. It s a 4 in 1. Get the bird on a heating pad in the house. If it is not eat tube feed it Kaytee Extract for baby birds. What the poop look like? Any others thing happening?

Jord,
Sounds like canker to me. May have some repertory problems too. Separate it from rest of your birds immediately and treat it with 4 in 1 treatment. Do the parents the same way too. Good luck. Later

It sound like it might have canker. Use a good 4 in1 pigeon medicine. You also might have to treat your whole flock. It passes easily to other birds. Clean the with 1 part bleach and 3 parts water. Take birds out and let it dry. Do this weekly until no sign of disease is showing.

Yes that will do the trick. But using 4N1 is convenient since you don't have to buy two separate medications. It is always best and always recommended to treat you birds a month before breeding starts. That way you know they are free from any of the three serious illnesses. Good Luck.

Hey Jord,
If it says that it’s for canker than it will. And yes do the whole loft with bleach and water mix. And please treat all of your birds with that medicine, canker is highly contagious. Good luck my friend. Later

Jord, here is the info:
Dacoxine 4-1: the most popular medication on the market for the treatment of Canker, e-coli, paratyphoid and coccidiois. 1 teaspoon to a gallon of drinking water for 7 days. Tablets are for individual treatment. Powder makes 18 -20 gallons and cost $19.95 for 100 grams.
3 In 1 Multi Mix: A great combination of medications for the 3 most common health problems. Canker, coccidiosis and worms. Use 3 to 4 weeks before breeding season and then once again after the season. One teaspoon per gallon for 5 days. powder for 100 grams costs $22.95.
Look at Foyspigeonsupplies.com and take a look in their catalog under the canker products. I hope that will help.
