Hi Dr. Rob,
Do you have any information for finch Circovirus? I have a flock of about 65
Lady Gouldians that are possibly infected with this virus. I have been
working with my avian vet to get a diagnosis and am still waiting. (the
samples are at the pathologist)
What I am wondering is there any treatment for this virus? The flock is
kept for breeding purposes, and I know that the finches that survive will be
carriers. Do I need to cull all of them and start over? And if so, how do I
ensure that the premises will not re-infect any new birds? Or how do I know
if any new birds carry the disease? Any info you have will be helpful.
Thank you,
Circovirus
