Are you talking about PDD? Proventricular Dilation Disease?
It's almost certainly fatal to birds that show symptoms. Afflicted birds basically starve to death because they can't digest their food. They also suffer from other maladies related to this disease. Try googling for it. You should be able to find lots of info out there. Enough to break your heart, really....
