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.
