In extreme cases, especially those involving aviaries with significant losses, euthanasia may be necessary for individual birds if multiple tests indicate a persistent infection after repeated treatment attempts. Take all new birds to a qualified avian veterinarian immediately after purchase for chlamydiosis screening tests. Buy birds from reputable suppliers who screen for the presence of chlamydia. Isolate and quarantine all newly acquired birds for a period of at least six weeks. Periodically monitor breeding flocks for chlamydiosis.
