Default Pigeon fever

What exactly is it. I have never heard of that and its not in my vet books. Could it be known by a different name.

The best thing is to just talk with your vet and follow all the recomendations that they give you. IT will be a long tough road. But doing what your vet says on this one would be your best advice.

Good luck.
