| There is a good reason why vaccines carry
the note to dispose of all unused portions. The manufacturer assumes that
the vaccine will be contaminated when the needle enters the vial. Bacteria
can be added to the vaccine and will multiply or incubate until the vaccine
is reused. It is possible to avoid wasting the vaccine. PMV-1 is prevalent
in the Pennsylvania area in wild pigeons, but it’s not very common in the
fancier’s loft because all but a few vaccinate. I protect my birds by vaccinating
them at weaning time. I take a 100 dose bottle, 10 syringes and 10 needles
and fill all 10 with vaccine (6 doses per syringe). I wrap the filled syringes
in a plastic bag, label them, put them in the refrigerator. I remove and
use a syringe as needed. It’s handy to have some rubbing alcohol in a spray
bottle. I squirt the bird in the vaccination area until it’s soaked. The
injection will be much easier and the chances of infection go down. You
can vaccinate youngsters by yourself because at that age they’re much easier
to handle and inject. We occasionally get calls from customers saying
that they can not operate their syringe properly. They have to push
real hard and it seems impossible to force the vaccine through. Here
is what you need to do: Before you push the needle into the bottle,
pull the plunger all the way back, then insert the needle. Push the
plunger down as though you are pushing air into the bottle, then pull the
plunger back to fill it. You may also remove the plunger and put
a small amount of vegetable oil on the rubber “o” ring. Needles are
size 20 X 1/2”. |
