Ever since I gave the bird Panacur its droppings have been odd confused I ordered Pro-vital All bird as it says it helps with dropping problems and gastro problems. Anyways bird seems normal wants to play and fly and chase me around and eats. Let me know what you think ?

Sorry, Pijiepie, I missed your post somehow... Sorry Working very long hours at the moment!

My heart sank when I read the word 'Panacur'. Why do vets insist on prescribing it as a pigeon wormer when it is SO dangerous to pigeons?!!!

Definitely continue to give him the Pro-Vital, that sounds perfect to help him recover and rebuild his immune system. Please also remove from his dish any broken seeds or anything that can be 'scratchy' while his intestines heal themselves.

I take it the first photo was taken before the second...? The dark reddish colour looks like it might contain dried blood. If it's no longer that colour, just let it be, otherwise it would be a good idea to give him an antibiotic to prevent bacteria getting through the damaged intestinal wall and into the blood stream. (Synulox/Clavamox would be a good one to use, because it's very gentle on young and convalescent pigeons.)

Fenbendazole, the active principle in Panacur, and other meds of the same family, are toxic to pigeons, causing loss of weight, loss of white blood cells, loss of bone marrow, and damage the mucosa of the intestinal wall, causing diarrhea and malabsorption of the food. I have also found online a necropsy report attributing the death of an apparently healthy pigeon to Fenbendazole. In the right doses it can be toxic, and the smallest overdose is lethal.
In a study, ALL the pigeons treated against worms with one of these drugs fared WORSE than the control group, who had no treatment at all:

Yeah Siegel's seems to have GOOD products, I picked up some Moxidectin Plus which I'll keep on hand and in another week do another fecal test on him. Hopefully the Vita will help him out. Ill feed him Canary food in the mean time.

Just saw you updated your post, the iphone camera isnt the best there wasn't any blood in any of the pictures. I'll monitor it from here see what happens.

That's really great, Moxidectin Plus is meant to be the best of the best!
