Henrik Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Looks like one of those blue lumps that has burst, dab it with iodine and leave it, should dry up and fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 tie cotton to the bottom it to stop the blood it will dry up and drop off in a few days to rich a feed m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gd Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 change in feed seems to bring it out - I usually have one bird that gets one of them once they are locked up after racing season - just leave it alone , it'll fall off eventually , not related to too much protein IMO as mine are on a carb based diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 "They are caused by the same virus as pigeon pox, this was explained to me by Dr Gerrit Dhont of Melle several years ago. If you wait until they are almost ripe, you can tie some cotton round them and they will drop off in a few days. The young birds will be no worse for this. I can guarantee. One of my best pigeons ever had at least 6 on his wings and body as a youngster and he won 11 x 1st prizes in the next 3 years. All children have problems." A quote from the Legend Frank Tasker. On a personal note, I've never had a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IB Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 That is more like a BoP attack to me. Far too large an area and totally the wrong place for a protein lump... and you'd have noticed a lump growing on the bird long before it burst. Bird looks as if it has been pinned and part of its back eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with you both, no such thing as a protein lump, dont interfere with it or it will bleed profusely and far worse than it is just now, just leave it alone and it will shrivel up and drop off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 to be honest i dont know andy but always thought it was caused by the feeding being to rich and i can only remember having 3 or 4 birds with it in 50 years i just tied them off and birds were fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IB Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 If it is as others say, it is called a fatty lipoma. It is diet-related (too much fat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 If it is as others say, it is called a fatty lipoma. It is diet-related (too much fat). IB fatty lipomas are yellow when appearing on pigeons and generally they only appear on very old pigeons, and I've never heard of one bursting and bleeding as this one appears to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
