Nothing from my own experience. A search on Google turned up lots of results, and the emphasis seems to be on prevention and control, with not much about treatment. I found one reference to the drug Dimetridazole being used as a treatment to control outbreaks. A consultation with an Avian Vet might turn up something more.
