    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Well, from what I have read, it is possible in an old(er) bird if the virus was latent, it's just rare. My vet who's and avian vet is not hopeful, but I need to talk with him. My roo did have the kind of lymphoma you find with Marek's. What I don't understand is that if my birds all have...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    How absolutely awful. I am so sorry you had to go through that - so many birds... I did send my roo in for testing - lymphomas - indicative of Marek's. He was nine though, but I can trace a stressful event that may have activated a latent virus. I guess because it's highly likely, but not...

One thing I find strange is that I have three hens, and their symptoms all coincide with each other. Can...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    I am sorry for everyone's losses. It's all very sad. My tiny flock seems to be infected. I put my rooster down about two weeks ago and the necropsy, which took forever, indicated lymphoma (around his liver) I am wondering if anyone has ever had birds survive visceral Marek's, which is what my...
