Could I get some advice please.

Talk about anything racing pigeon related here aslong as there isnt a section for it.

He appears to be back to his normal "shining" self now
And while looking to see if it is an oil based vaccine I actually read the instructions (first time for everything) and it says that ot is very common for birds to have an adverse reaction in the form of a transient swelling at the site of the injection.
Luckily, there doesnt seem to be any damage around thearea at all.
Think I will leave him out this week and give him an extra week rest before Pau.
Thanks everyone
I am going to watch with interest.
I hope he does well from Pau for you.
Greetings from the land down under. :D

Columbivac ain't oil base pal ,
Just get a gun n pull trigger with vaccine in ,it will spray 4 meters so imagine the speed that goes in to the pigeons,,I prefer a needle done slow n then rub the area with ya finger so there's no lump.

Cheers Murray he appears to be back to his old self now and no long term effects from it other than losing a bit of weight. So I am planning to build him back up with a heavy protein mix for a week and then a fat mix for the following 2 weeks unless any of you aces can advise me differently.
