Pigeon white diarrhea, often associated with pullorum disease (bacillary white diarrhea), is a serious bacterial infection that can affect young birds. Symptoms include white diarrhea, huddling, weakness, lethargy, and a pasted vent. Other signs may include anorexia, depression, ruffled feathers, blindness, lameness, and labored breathing.
Symptoms of Pullorum Disease in Pigeons:
- White diarrhea: This is the most prominent symptom, characterized by white or yellowish fecal material.
- Huddling: Affected pigeons may huddle near heat sources or other birds in an attempt to stay warm.
- Weakness and lethargy: Birds may appear weak, listless, and have difficulty moving.
- Pasted vent: White or yellow fecal material may be stuck to the vent area.
- Anorexia: Reduced appetite or refusal to eat.
- Depression: A general state of sadness or loss of interest in surroundings.
- Ruffled feathers: Feathers may be ruffled or unkempt.
- Blindness: In some cases, birds may experience blindness.
- Lameness: Difficulty walking or moving, or inability to walk at all.
- Labored breathing: Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing.
- Post-mortem lesions: If a bird dies from pullorum disease, post-mortem examination may reveal grey nodules in the lungs, liver, and heart, as well as intestinal inflammation and enlarged spleens.
