As a veterinarian, we are sometimes presented with cases that are a little outside of our comfort zone and for many, exotic animals are WAY outside of that! Fear not, this webinar is for you! We aim to refresh your memory regarding the common disease presentations of popular pocket pets, so you can do your best to help these little patients in an emergency.

Scrambled or poached? Urogenital Disease in Pet Birds

Birds’ urogenital organs reflect their ‘flying dinosaur’ ancestry with reptilian features (such as egg laying and urecotelic waste disposal) being adapted to ‘lighten the load’ and facilitate flight. Understanding such unique features helps to make sense of urogenital disease in avian patients and aids diagnosis and treatment of everyday clinic issues such as egg binding, abnormal egg formation, egg yolk related peritonitis, cloacal disorders, urolithiasis and gout.
