We would like to bring to your attention that Sue has been recently diagnosed with PIGEON FANCIER LUNG DISEASE. This disease is not curable chronic stage is oxygen. The reason as she has been associated with pigeons for the last 25 yrs. Sue has helped me collect and catch pigeons for our retrieving club. Having breathing problems Sue was referred to a respiratory specialist where they confirmed this disease, quite a shock as we never had knowledge of this with game. Apparently only pigeons can carry this disease. Having been detected at an early stage hopefully it is manageable. We are sharing this to our fellow trailers so if you are having any breathing problems please ask for a CT lung scan. Be aware it's a must to wear a mask when dealing with pigeons in coops, boxes or cages.
