Cold sores

Can you pass it your bird???

 

 

It's best to contact your vet with that question. If you're talking about a medically diagnosed cold sore then you're talking about herpes and all herpes catagories are contagious amongst other people. Not too sure about animals though.

Not sure either! Probably not, but why take a chance? Hepes Simplex 1. As a nurse, when I leave work, I change my clothes, scrub down from elbows to hands. Hygiene, is the number one prevention for illness. Kids know this too! Noone handles birds until they have washed with soap and water. It is second nature to us. Nancy
