Canker - TrichomoniasisCanker
Cause - This is the most common pigeon disease. It's caused by a microscopic protozoan which is flagellated and , therefore, mobile. It can be transmitted from one bird to another usually through the drinking water, and parent birds can infect their young through feeding.
Symptoms - Infected birds show a definite reduction in activity, ruffled feathers, loss of weight, increased water intake, and diarrhea. Cheesy yellowish deposits can often be observed in the mouth or throat. In advanced stages , a stringy mucous and putrid odor can be detected in the mouth. Young birds are most susceptible.
Prevention - Control stress with half dosage of Improver and AntiFungal, this will control the stress to 0 in the birds.
Maintain regular feed and withering schedules, sanitize drinkers regularly, isolate and observe any newly acquired birds for several weeks, and administer an anti-canker drug or Improver on a regular basis throughout the year. Veterinary recommendations vary from once every three months to once a month. This will depend upon incidence and susceptibility in your own flock.
