#CanaryPox🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 An important topic at this time of year. I didn't want to write about it because, frankly, the explanation is long and a bit complicated. I'll try to be as brief as possible. As I've previously discussed the onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, fenugreek, and seven-spice mixture in the water dispenser, and proved that it's all nonsense and more harmful to the bird's intestines than beneficial, today someone from the garlic, vinegar, and seven-spice group is flooding the internet with a recipe for treating canary pox. They're showing a bird and claiming to treat it, with the sole aim of getting likes and followers at the expense of your suffering as a breeder. Even worse, they post a picture on the first day and then a picture after a few days, even though it's clear that the post-treatment picture is actually the bird on the first day of infection, and the picture of the bird before treatment, with a bleeding finger, is actually the bird after treatment. Of course, they didn't benefit, but how else can we get likes and followers? Anyway, I'll talk about my experience with canary pox. Due to my friendship with many veterinarians, who, from the beginning, showed me the severity of the disease and the difficulty of recovery, what I want to discuss is that the disease is viral. It enters healthy cells, disguises itself, and enters a incubation period. So far, so good? So, how can I treat a virus with garlic, vinegar, or any veterinary or human medicine? I'll answer you briefly: since it's a virus, like the flu, it doesn't get cured until the body develops immunity, the virus's weaknesses are exposed, and the body can destroy the virus. So, what about medications? Medications are only to alleviate the bird's suffering and try to boost its immunity so it can resist and not succumb. Despite this, the survival rate is low. Out of 43 birds, 6 survived, and they survived with vision loss or lost digits, meaning they were disabled. So, what's the solution? The solution is vaccination, like the polio vaccine for children. There's a vaccine for pox that's given on the wing, but it's not available here yet, and if it were, it would be very expensive. So, I've given you the bottom line. What did I do? Did I fall short in anything? I'll show you what ointments we used for the affected areas, from insect bite ointments to iodine, garlic, vinegar, and even chlorine. We even used hydrogen peroxide, which dentists use to kill tooth nerves, and seawater. We put shavings on the cage floor and ointments for pimples and warts. I even used gentamicin and aloe vera. This is how we got to the point of stopping the bleeding, because when the lesion on the bird's leg gets scratched, the entire cage literally becomes bloody, as if you've slaughtered the bird. Of course, in the water dispenser, we put everything you can think of, from immunity boosters to anti-inflammatories, intestinal disinfectants, and vitamins, all from the best brands. So far, so good, we didn't benefit. The result was fatal. So, what's the reason? The reason is a bite from a mite carrying the disease. What does this mean? If the mite is not carrying the disease, a lesion appears at the bite site, responds easily to treatment, and disappears. This is what happened to some breeders, and they thought they had cured the pox and defeated it. But in reality, not every mite bite means a pox infection. The mite might not be carrying the disease, and this explains how some breeders were able to treat the pox. So, how does a mite bite turn into a nightmare? If the mite is carrying the virus, the bird is inevitably infected. So, how does the disease spread? From your hands, from overcrowding birds in the same cage, sharing water and food dispensers, perches, and most importantly, the mites that spread the disease and turn it into an epidemic in the entire room. Therefore, don't buy a used cage without disinfecting it with a high concentration of
