Novice Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 It's actually caused by a virus but has no lasting effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOVEScot Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I was always under the belief it was a birds individual inability to cope with fats ands preotiens hence the name and this was verified by some vets, a few months ago it was also stated that it was a form of pox so the jury is out I had this pigeon brought to me and I tied a thin piece of thread around it and tied it tight, the lump fell off and the bird made a full recovery. The owners other 19 birds never have had one before or after so I am not sure about the pox theory :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchthepigeon Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I dont think its a virus or virus related.Cutting of the lump wouldnt cure it as the virus would still be in the blood stream.I have had one and used cotton thread to remove it.
