                                         Common pigeon diseases:

                                                                                    This post is written by Dr.Mujahid Rouf all about to pigeon diseases.

                                                                                      Pigeon are a surprisingly popular pet . They, along with doves, are short-legged, stout bodies birds that are found almost everywhere in the world in both the wild and our homes. As pets ,we care for their every need , including treating the following  common diseases that they may get.

Pigeon worms

Like many other types of animal ,pigeons can harbor various kinds of worms in their intestine tract. Roundworms , tapeworms and hair worms grow and live in the digestive tract of pigeons and can cause diarrhea, weakness , increased susceptibility to other diseases and performance issues in competitive pigeons. Sometimes you can see worms passed in the feces of a pigeon but often times their eggs are found during a microscopic exam.

Pigeons get worms from eating insects and ingesting infected droppings from other birds so it can be very difficult to prevent your pigeon from getting worms.

Pigeon cocciodia

                                                                                              Similar to worms, coccidia is an intestinal protozoan that is found in pigeons and other animals and causes diarrhea, loss of nutrition absorption and weight loss.

Coccidia is easily transmitted from pigeon to pigeon when they ingest infected droppings and is often found in small,acceptable quantities in most lofts. If a pigeon is acting normally and a small amount of coccidia is found , it is often not treated.

Coccidia is a microscopic organism so you will not be able to see it without a microscope. Other symptoms, they should receive medications to treat it.

Pigeon mycoplasma

                                                                                                Also a cause of respiratory infections, mycoplasma can infect pigeons in their respiratory tract. The symptoms of a mycoplasma infection are the same as those of achlamydia and other respiratory infections so depending on pigeon will show symptoms of mycoplasma. Therefore, meaning a clean, stress-free, ideal environment for your pigeon is crucial in keeping your birds healthy.

Pigeon canker

                                                                                           
  Canker is caused by a tiny organism called a protozoan. It is a disease that is  easily transmitted from bird to bird but thankfully it is not able to survive outside of a bird for more than a few minutes. Pigeons pass it to other pigeons when they share water bowls, exhibit billing with other adult pigeons and feed young pigeons crop milk.

The organism that causes canker is typically found in a pigeon;s crop, throat, bile duct , cloaca , proventriculus, or other parts of the digestive tract.

Nodules from canker may also be found on the navel in a nestling pigeon or in pigeon sinuses. Symptoms of canker will vary depending on what part of the body it is found in but since it most commonly affect the throat, most pigeons will have breathing difficulties due to the nodules on the tonsils.

Pigeon hexamita:

                                                  Very similar to the protozoan that causes canker in pigeons . this organism is also found in the digestive tract of pigeons. Thankfully, hexamita is not as serious for most pigeon as canker is but it is still recommended to treat a bird that is diagnosed with it.  The organism can be found microscopically in feces and is often confused with canker due to their similar appearance.

Pigeon Lice, Mites and Flies:

                                                    External parasites , such as lice , mites and flies are a real bother to your pet pigeon. These annoying pests not only bite and irritate your pigeon but they can also cause more serious damage. A scaly appearance to the unfeathered areas of your pigeon ,tiny holes in the feather shafts and itchy birds are all signs of external parasites. Depending on the type of parasite, medicated sprays are typically used on a pigeon that is infected.
