Videos of main pigeon diseases - graphic so beware

[Feefo]

I found some videos on youtube which are very educational ,they include postmortem results so BEWARE

Despite this I am posting the link because they show the clinical symptoms of the diseases (might help us distinguish between PMV and Paratyphoid) , live views through the microscope (help us know what we are looking atand what we should look for) , treatment such as PMV innoculation, etc. I hope that it doesn't offend anyone.

Hi Cynthia,

This is a wealth of information because of symptoms and help in diagnosing health issues, perhaps the one should be included in your PMV sticky with warning and the rest as a seperate sticky??

Great finds, Cynthia. These should help with diagnoses.

This thread is extremely informative - now I know that our lost Wally definitely did not have PMV as the emergency vet said but rather a heavy head injury!
Sad enough and I still feel guilty about it but my gut feeling was right!
