paddymac Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 looks like they may possibly have mycroplasmosis.
robbiedoo. Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 strapper can to tell us what you think it is
Simeon Turner Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 looks like they may possibly have mycroplasmosis. Thats what I was thinking.
Guest strapper Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 there is one resp problem that this could bebut not deffinate..ive advised karl to get a visit to the vet..the bird in the pic has ornithosis.
Guest frank dooman Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Thats what I was thinking. in the one side?
Guest strapper Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 in the one side? yes this can affect one side only...just like hay fever can affect one or both eyes.
Guest frank dooman Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 didnt know mycroplasma could just show on 1 side but its still resp.
Guest strapper Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 pic shown is ornithosis....just a warning to everyone who doesnt already know of this...this can be caught by humans...fact by the way this bird in pic aint mine.. but shown as info.
Guest strapper Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 just for the books this may not be what karl has and only used for reference to what it maybe. heres a little info.. Nature of the Disease. Chlamydophila psittaci are the organisms that cause the disease called Psittacosis (or sometimes Ornithosis, Chlamydiosis or Chlamydophilosis). Infection can cause a variety of problems and symptoms but usually it is the respiratory system that is affected. Infection is very common. Chlamydophila psittaci are single-celled organisms that are carried within the system of the vast majority of racing pigeons virtually all the time. Certain other birds, including chickens, can also be infected. Most aviaries have one or more resident strains of Chlamydophila. Most birds are passively infected by their parents at a young age but, rather than becoming sick, simply mount an immune response and start to form a natural immunity to the organism. Ongoing low-grade exposure through early life tends to reinforce and strengthen the racing pigeons’ developing natural immunity. Most parrots and pigeons by the time they are six months of age, and almost all individuals by the time they are 12 months of age, have developed a sufficiently strong natural immunity to protect them from disease. For this reason, disease in racing pigeons older than 12 months is uncommon. Stress in the form of bad management practices or a poor aviary environment puts any natural immunity that the racing pigeons have developed to the test. Because Chlamydophila infection often appears as an eye problem, with the racing pigeons presenting with a red squinting discharging eye, some fanciers attempt treatment with antibiotic eye drops. Because the disease is systemic, treating the eye only is of limited value and a much better response can be expected if antibiotics are given orally. Bathing the eye with warm water or saline will, however, remove bacteria and their toxins as well as dried discharges. This will not only make the bird more comfortable but hasten the healing process. Chlamydophila psittaci do have the potential to infect people. Fortunately, most people are naturally resistant to infection. However, people whose own health is already compromised are more susceptible. racing pigeons are important but people are much more important. Therefore, if a person at risk is involved with a bird’s care, often the decision is made to treat to eradicate the organism or dispose of the bird.
