I look at it that £72 is not even £1.50 a week over the year and that way looks cheap plus it’s checked better than I could do
I do know that when people say they can see worms there not correct always or if they think they haven’t got canker just because there isn’t a great lump of yellow in the throat there wrong but people still think like that

I’ve got a hen bird been struggling for a few weeks now. Hunched up, bit of weight loss but nothing in the mouth or throat, droppings look ok. I tried Gamba tabs and Tollisan Matrix in her water for 5 days, which seemed to be perking her up, but now she’s gone downhill again, getting occasional tremors and one of the eyes looks a bit ‘off’. She’s eating, had a bath a day or so back, but not recovering.

Looking at all the videos available Chlamydia looks like the most likely, but the water treatment clearly hasn’t done its job. Any ideas?

The fact that she is eating is a positive sign. I myself have never used testing. If it's serious you lose precious time waiting on the results. If it was my bird I'd give it a Röhnfried K + K tablet for 5 days. If that doesn't fix her, a course of Chevita chloramphenicol-N

What do they treat or do King ?

I think it’s best to have a test kit at home ready to use to save time as king says best to act quick

I believe the other is for bacteria infections ? Like we have in eye drops

What Neil the Röhnfried K + K tablets?

If I could have only one pigeon product, it would be these. They are made from readily digestible animal protein. This protein is extracted from top quality blood plasma. I've known fanciers have YBs flown so flown out, they thought the birds would die. In many cases one of these tablets is enough to save the bird. I used to give returning birds from a hard fly one.
I had an old hen go off which wasn't eating. Give her a few days on these tablets and she recovered without any medication.
The new tablets are now gold. I've only ever used the old silver coloured ones.
