HOMER49 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Ornithosis/Chlamydiosis / Psittacosis (Chlamydophila psittaci) This disease is caused by Chlamydia psittaci. TransmissionElementary bodies (infective parts of the organism) are commonly found in the loft. They are found on feather dust (bloom), dried faeces, loft surfaces and in respiratory system discharges (aerosols) of infected birds and birds that are carriers.These organisms are then spread by air circulation within the loft. They then settle on the mucous membranes of upper respiratory system and eyes where, depending on the immune status of the bird, can cause mild to severe illness. These organisms can also be transmitted from the hen to the egg (vertical transmission,) resulting in chicks being born with the disease. SymptomsThe organism is wide spread and can live in the environment for several weeks. It is unlikely that there are any pigeons that have not been exposed to varying numbers of the organism, with race baskets being the biggest source of infection.Symptoms shown vary tremendously and are very dependent on immune and nutritional status/stress levels etc. of the birds Symptoms most commonly found are:-• Poor race performance.• Unwillingness to fly around loft.• Red throats sometimes with mucous “strings"• Brown wattles especially the area directly above nostril opening.• Conjunctivitis “one eyed coldâ€. Bubbles are often seen in the excessive tears produced. Birds often rub their heads on their wing butts (shoulders).• Respiratory distress.• Green diarrhoea if liver is affected.• Death in severe cases.Diagnosis This can be made in the live bird by doing various tests on blood and throat samples.A rapid test is now available from Medpet where results are available in 10 minutes. TreatmentDoxybiotic Plus (Doxybiotic S in cage birds) is the treatment of choice. Various treatment protocols can be used:-• When the disease has been confirmed with laboratory tests, treat for 20 days.• When the disease has been a problem in previous years, treat for 10 days before the race season (April/May in SA)• As a preventative treatment during the race season treat for 3-7 days.• During treatment all sources of Calcium (e.g. grit and minerals) must be removed.• Lewerstim can be added to the Doxybiotic every 3rd day. Enteroplus or Intestum can be given with, and after the Doxybiotic.• Wherever possible, boost immunity with Medimune, Enteroplus, Vitaton 34 and Intestum.• Doxybiotic should be used every 6 weeks during the race season. This is done as a preventative measure.• Avoid stress situations e.g. overcrowding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOMER49 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 A big problem Alex ? I thought it was totally treatable and if nipped in the bud it should be fine ?? Hi Buff Have posted what I believe your pigeons have if there is bubbles in thelower eyelid. One eyed cold tablets which I see are still available willonly mask the problem and I see that you have to treat every pigeon in the loftfor a 7 day treatment is not enough DAC do a treatment with tablets but again having to give every pigeon a tablet every morning for 20 days Doxycycline is the preferred treatment that vets recommend Hope this helps you understand that the one eyed cold is not to be taken lightlyI tell you from experience about a 7 day courseCheersHomer 49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
