Hi everyone, I’ve never used this forum before, I hope this is the right place to post this.
I have a pet pigeon named Diamond. I took him to the vet for a checkup recently and we found out that he has yeast in his system. The doctor wasn’t able to tell me if this was serious or not, and basically just told me to put apple cider vinegar in his water for a month, and bring another fecal sample in for her to test next month. I’ve been doing some googling, and it looks like gastric yeast is actually very serious and I’m extremely concerned. Diamond is fine at the moment, muscular, lots of energy, eating and drinking fine. But his mate, Opal just died unexpectedly two weeks ago from what I am now starting to suspect was also yeast….although I don’t know for sure. I’m trying not to panic, but I’m really scared right now. How serious is this? And is there anything other then apple cider vinegar that I can give him to make sure this doesn’t get out of control? This bird is like my kid, I can’t handle losing him too. Thank you - Ellie
