Equine Pigeon Fever FAQ:

Though named for the often seen chest abscesses, reminiscent of a pigeon, swelling and abscesses can develop all over the body.
Most cases of Pigeon Fever involve external abscesses in the pectoral region and under the belly, back to the mammary or sheath area.

Pigeon fever is transmitted through contact with contaminated soil or through fly bites, the chest, midline and groin areas are often common abscess sites.

Pigeon fever is caused by bacteria that enter horses through open wounds or fly bites. The bacteria can incubate in the horse for several weeks before symptoms appear. Most cases resolve within a month, but chronic swelling and lameness can persist. Some cases can lead to internal abscesses that can cause pneumonia, colic, weight loss, fever, lethargy, and blood in the urine

~Use fly sheets, sprays, ointments, or feed-through products, especially on horses with open wounds or abscesses. Flies can cause skin inflammation on some horses, such as midline dermatitis. Wash or sanitize hands and equipment after handling infected horse.

~Regularly manage manure and remove soiled bedding and feed, as the bacteria can survive in hay and shavings for up to two months.

~Quarantine
Isolate infected horses and quarantine horses that are introduced to new environments if possible.

If you suspect pigeon fever, contact your veterinarian.
