Young pigeon disease
The term youngsters disease surfaced in the course of time. Previously we spoke of Adenocoli. But the charge of the problem was that the term Adenocoli or just 'Coli' no longer fully covered. Originally refers to the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea that could take out the youngsters around the months of May to July. Now a days, lovers reported to have “Coli” in February. In many of these cases, there is just something else going on. Because similar symptoms can have different causes, we often speak of the young pigeon disease.
In the late eighties the sport was rocked by a severe form of diarrhea and vomiting. Because the pigeons often before the onset of the disease occurred that pigeons began to look up moss and began to pick in it, was mistakenly thought to picking in the moss was the cause of the vomiting. Some time later one thought that the reason of infection with the adenovirus was caused by picking in the moss. Usually the complaints were quickly remedied with the gift of electrolytes. The disease was aggravated by an additional infection with Escherichia Coli bacterium then succeeded and succeed often not without antibiotic gift symptoms to disappear quickly. A preventive approach to acidifying herbal drinks appeared on the one hand to prevent the outbreak of the disease in many cases, on the other hand, the symptoms of a preventive gift of these beverages were generally gone faster if the disease broke out anyway.
Ornithose complex
Ornithose sec is the name for an infection caused by Chlamydiae in pigeons. This infection in its purest form is often recognized in the autumn as the 'one eye cold'. One or a few pigeons in the loft can then have a unilateral inflammation of the eye. In the Netherlands this Chlamydiae infection has been a notifiable disease for veterinarians. This is one of the causative agents that play a role in the so-called ornithosis, this is where we mostly talk about in this article. Practice shows that airway infections are only rarely caused by a single agent. Usually it is a complex of certain infections that combined the severity of the disease.
