Pigeons' health can be seen from their feces. Green manure is actually a broader problem. Because many diseases have green feces. Some healthy pigeons also excrete green feces.
Green feces are generally divided into three categories: dark green thick feces, general green feces and light green watery feces. The dark green here hurts the most.
Let me talk about the different treatments of these three situations.
Dark green and thick can be divided into two situations. Namely healthy type and unhealthy type.
I remember it was 1989, and there was a place called Jiangdu where Hami was released, 2600 kilometers away. The feathered pigeon returned to its nest, but died incredibly on the way to the report. Why? It turns out that pigeons will excrete dark green feces when they come back. I fed some antibiotics to the pigeon, or maybe I used too many antibiotics, but I killed an excellent pigeon, even though he loved pigeons from the point of view. However, due to the lack of knowledge of pigeon disease judgment and medication, an excellent pigeon died inexplicably, which is really a bit heartbreaking. So, what is the reason why Hami, a homing pigeon, excretes green feces? It can be seen from the physiological structure of pigeons. Pigeons have no bile glands. But pigeons can excrete bile through the common bile duct parasitic in the liver to help digestion. This is why we can see pigeons excrete thick green feces after extreme hunger. Knowing this truth, we can suit the remedy to the case, let the pigeons rest in the dark environment and feed some digestible food. This green excrement is tasteless.
Then let's look at another reason why green manure is sticky. The liver is a very important organ. It is involved in sugar conversion, toxin degradation and hematopoiesis. These sick pigeons also have thick green feces. And has a certain fishy smell. Through dissection, we can also see that the pigeon liver with liver disease has obvious black border, which is actually an acute hepatitis. This is also the kind of disease that was often said before. Sick pigeons naturally lose weight, and their skin should not peel off from their muscles. In the past, the muscles flushed obviously, and occasionally there were signs of temperature deviation. This is basically pigeon hepatitis. In the past, many pigeon lovers liked to treat with oxytetracycline or compound sulfamethoxazole. This is feasible, but it is not the best way. Usually, if hepatitis is diagnosed, it is relatively easy to treat. Supplement WB and WC to pigeons every day to improve liver function. At the same time, some antibiotics should be used in combination. Now just use fluopicric acid. Take one capsule twice a day. It usually takes about a week to recover. When treating this disease, I usually pull out two side hairs of pigeons. Pulling feathers is sometimes a good way to treat some diseases of pigeons. Especially for some metabolic disorders caused by hematology, the effect is quite good. This method originated in the European battlefield 13 century ago, and was used for patients with regenerative blood disorder after injury. There is a certain scientific truth. But it is not very popular now. The reason is to improve some physiological functions by lowering blood pressure after bloodletting. Pulling tail feathers can do this, and I sometimes bleed sick pigeons. Especially in 1997, when Newcastle disease was prevalent in Chinese mainland, did you try this method?
Pigeons sometimes produce thick green feces because of drug poisoning. These should be seen according to the specific situation. Don't throw drugs about.
Let's start with medium green feces. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, pigeons will produce normal green feces due to the absorption changes of digestive system, which are tasteless and have obvious digestive feed residues. So there's no need to be nervous.
The last one is water-like green feces. This situation is more common in the past two years. It is also more troublesome to treat. Water-like green feces can be divided into: water-like mucus-like feces and foam-like green feces.
The first one is probably called leptospirosis. It is characterized by yellowing of oral mucosa, conjunctiva and skin. It belongs to a kind of chlamydia infection. Chloramphenicol or chlortetracycline can be used for treatment, especially chlortetracycline. There is also a symptom of green feces, that is, green water stool, and the shape of water stool is segment by segment. Generally speaking, this situation is that four birds are infected with roundworms. Easier to treat. Just use levamisole.
Foamy green feces are the most troublesome, most likely Newcastle disease. There is no specific medicine to treat. Use vaccines only at an early stage.
In addition, copper poisoning can also cause pigeon green feces. But it is a very dark and thin feces. Treatment: Use 0.5g magnesium sulfate as laxative and feed it to pigeons. At the same time, patients with deep poisoning were given cardiotonic drugs.
