Medicine & Surgery
Avian medicine and surgery are specialized fields focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases in birds:
Common Diseases:
Respiratory issues: Birds are prone to respiratory infections due to their unique air sac system
Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of vitamin A, calcium, or protein can lead to health problems
Parasitic Infections: External parasites (mites, lice) and internal parasites (worms) can affect birds
Viral & Bacterial Diseases: Conditions like avian influenza, psittacosis, and salmonellosis require medical intervention
Diagnostic Methods:
Physical Examination: Checking feathers, beak, eyes, and droppings for signs of illness
Blood Tests & Imaging: X-rays and ultrasounds help diagnose internal conditions
Microbiological Testing: Identifies bacterial or fungal infections
Surgical Procedures:
Soft Tissue Surgery: Used for tumor removal, wound repair, and organ-related issues
Orthopedic Surgery: Fixes fractures and joint problems, often using pins or external stabilizers
Endoscopic Procedures: Minimally invasive techniques for internal examinations and treatments
Post-Surgical Care:
Pain Management: Birds require specialized pain relief medications
Recovery Monitoring: Close observation ensures proper healing
Diet & Hydration: Nutritional support speeds up recovery.
