Herbovet

Dear pigeon fancier,
Welcome to our website.

Fascinated by the pigeon sport which is already practiced during decades in our family I've specialized myself, as veterinarian, in the health and condition of pigeons. I obtained my diploma of veterinarian in 1994 at the University of Ghent.

In my own family I could practice my obtained knowledge. That way, I managed to turn my practice into one of the best in the field of diagnosis.

Recovery and medication

We work out a complete schedule in function of the health, condition and needs of your pigeons.

Research and diagnosis

Bring a few sick pigeons and from every loft a sample of droppings. At death, we will, if necessary, ask you to bring the dead birth for autopsy.

Bring a few pigeons per loft.

Sample of droppings per loft in a plastic bag.

For bacteriological examination preferably take droppings during 5 days and keep it refrigerated.

In case of severe problems you can bring the pigeon for autopsy.

In our practice we do different kind of examinations :

- trichomoniasis
- Coccidiose
- Worms
- Bacteriological examination, such as mycoplasma, salmonella, streptococcus and e-coli Chlamydia
- Making an antibiogram
- Full autopsy
- Viral research such as herpes, adenovirus,…
- Fungus research
- DNA research
- All kinds of operations such as sterilization of pigeons.

Follow-up

Every pigeon that has been treated by is has a medical file, so that we can immediately check the previous treatments and medication.
