Title: Avian TB
Post by: agapanthus on October 16, 2007, 11:22

Took one of my ex-batts to the vet yesterday and he's pretty sure she has avian tb :cry: .....wild birds spread it apparently. Not a lot can be done :(
Anyone else had any  experience of this?

Its harmless to humans.

When our Dexters are TB tested they sometimes show as having come into contact with avian TB, the vets are not worried about this in anyway.
