Common conclusions

Your pet bird doesn't show any symptom of Pacheco's disease. If your bird did come in contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces, you should contact your veterinarian. While clinical signs usually appear within three to seven days of infection, not all birds will display symptoms. Birds must have regular testing for this deadly disease.

Your pet bird shows few common symptoms of Pacheco's disease. Since most symptoms of Pacheco's are non-specific your bird might be suffering from some more common health condition. You should contact your veterinarian in any case and have your bird examined. If a Pacheco's disease has been diagnosed a veterinarian will generally prescribe Acyclovir for your pet. However, the medication is known to cause kidney damage, and works best during the initial stages of the infection, before the symptoms show.
