Ausführlicher Erfahrungsbericht*

When I got my dream wellness "Wölkchen" at the beginning of September 2017, two or three feathers were missing, but he was still able to fly well. I noticed a slightly musty, sick smell. The entrance check at a veterinarian who is well versed in birds was otherwise unremarkable. Unfortunately he lost more and more feathers in the following weeks and finally could not fly, he was a "hit". I arranged everything appropriately and informed myself about possible causes. Since I practice biblical healing prayer, I applied it to suspected viruses. In November I had him tested for PBFD and Polyoma - no viruses were found. And yet the symptoms were clearly there. I gave him minerals and amino acids as well as fresh greens and vitamins recommended for moulting all the time.

However, in early 2018 he lost more and more feathers on his head and neck until he was practically bald there were gaps under the wings. The few wing feathers that ever came were holey, twisted and shortened. I bought GladiatorPLUS and from February 2018 put my budgies in drinking water every day. From there it went up. Everyone had more energy and clouds were visibly doing well. On April 11th, 2018 I went to the vet again and had a blood count. Result: Antibodies against polyoma were present to a large extent, which means that he definitely had, but no polyoma viruses were found in the second PCR test either. A little more patience was needed, but after 6-8 weeks of GladiatorPLUS many new feathers appeared on the head. In the meantime he has no more gaps and looks great! Even the feathers grow back healthily, and when he does his flight-drying exercises, it "rushes" tremendously. He will definitely be able to fly again soon! I am convinced that GladiatorPlus has made a decisive contribution to reducing the symptoms of Polyoma and I will continue to do so. But not too much, otherwise they almost go crazy with energy - despite free flight in the room.
