What do you feed your birds?Just got through with a long conversation with Dr Niles. The short of it is, it's leaning toward being the leucosis virus.
The long story is June was a mess. She had tumors on organs, she had salpingitis, she had an inflamed brain, she had an inflamed shell gland, fat deposits everywhere unlike the first pullet Jules who had no fatty deposits or tumors I could see.
But Jules may have had mostly her brain affected by lymphoma as did June. The brain cancer likely was responsible for the lameness.
We discussed the puzzling occurrence and remission of symptoms, especially May's amazing recovery. This is not how things usually go. A bird gets symptomatic and goes pretty much down the chute to acute illness in a pretty steady fashion.
Dr Niles is curious as am I about this facet of this disorder. He's going to converse with the pathologists to see if they can' tweak their lab tests to come up with something more definitive. Maybe by Friday we will have more information to hang our hats on.
As it stands, it may be Marek's, but it's more likely lymphoid leucosis.
Will Lymphoid Leucosis stay on the property, or can it be eliminated? (If this is even how it is transmitted)Just got through with a long conversation with Dr Niles. The short of it is, it's leaning toward being the leucosis virus.
