Vaccinating Racing Pigeon with PMV Vaccine VIDEO

Post Ed on Sun Jan 03, 2010 9:26 pm

In this video Dennis from Hawkbait Lofts shows us how he vaccinates his young birds with the PMV (Paramyxovirus) vaccine. He uses a standard syringe with a 22 gauge needle and injects the vaccine just under the skin between the leg and the body he calls it the “web”. He says you may notice the vaccine bubble under the skin but the body will slowly absorb the vaccine and start the immunity process against PMV. Dennis’ tip “don’t go to deep”.

I did this last year on all my birds. I used a cotton swab to apply the alcohol and a gun which measured each dose. It was really easy - I did get my wife to hold the bird, but I suspect I won't be able to "enlist" here help this year.
