How to treat pigeon eyes with tears

In recent years, the pigeon breeding industry has developed rapidly, and the scale of pigeon breeding is getting larger and larger, but in the process of breeding pigeons, there are always some small things that lead to breeding problems. Recently, many friends have left messages to the editor, saying that their pigeons have swollen eyes recently and shed tears. What is the reason for this? How to solve this problem? The following is the editor's answer to the questions you are concerned about. let's take a look.

1. The reason for the tears in the pigeon's eyes

The reason why pigeons shed tears is that the eyes are stimulated by foreign bodies or emotional impulses, resulting in tears secreted by the lacrimal glands. The lacrimal secretory system is mainly composed of lacrimal glands and accessory lacrimal glands, which may occur when some part of the secretory system is seriously blocked or the drainage system is blocked. In general, the main cause of pigeon tears is chlamydia, also known as monocular cold, bird plague, followed by infectious rhinitis (Haemophilus), infectious septicemia mycoplasmosis (mycoplasma, mycoplasma), colibacillosis (Escherichia coli) and other diseases can also cause tears. Finally, the lack of certain nutrients or vaccine stimulation, dust, insects and other hazards, which can also cause tears.

2. Symptoms of tears in the eyes of pigeons

In general, there is a sign before pigeon eyes shed tears. In the early stage of the disease, there will be eye scratching or scratching. Slowly, the eyes will become red and swollen and secrete purulent substances called tears. If the disease is further aggravated, there may be respiratory and intestinal problems, so when it is first found, it needs to be stopped in time, so as not to worsen the disease and lead to the death of pigeons.

3. Prevention and control methods

Generally speaking, we can use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as erythromycin, tetracycline, streptomycin, chloramphenicol and so on. The second is the combination of local and systemic medication, so the efficacy will be better, but the disadvantage is that systemic medication has great side effects on the pigeon's body, so it is generally not used until special circumstances. And in time when the disease worsens, we need to take surgical treatment to suck out inflammatory secretions or remove abscess cysts. Finally, it can also enhance the metabolism of the new town by enhancing the supplement of nutrients. All in all, the sooner it is discovered, the easier it is to treat.

4. Points for attention

In order to avoid pigeon eye swelling and tears, then we need to pay attention to some breeding details in the process of breeding. First of all, the pigeon house should be well ventilated, maintain ventilation, clean up the hygiene of the pigeon house in time, and carry on disinfection, change the water source in the pigeon house in time, reduce pathogen infection. The second is to strengthen feeding management, reasonable and scientific feed feeding to ensure balanced nutrition. Finally, after the onset of the disease, do not give the pigeon a bath, but also avoid the pigeon to wet the infected area, which will aggravate the disease and even spread to other healthy pigeons.
