The Use of Alfaxalone in Quaker Parrots (Myiopsitta monachus)
Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2019Alfaxalone is a neurosteroid anesthetic that acts on gamma-aminobutyric acid alpha-receptors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of alfaxalone (Alfaxan CD). Due to observed hyperexcitability in the subject animals when alfaxalone was the only drug used during the initial trials, premedication with midazolam was

Effects of Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin on Blood Lipids in Quaker Parrots (Myiopsitta monachus)
Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2023Statin drugs are the most effective class of hypolipidemic and antiatherosclerotic drugs, with atorvastatin and rosuvastatin being the most effective. While the use of statins would be a tremendous asset in the treatment of dyslipidemia and lipid-accumulation disorders in birds, there are only limited data available regarding their use and ...

Clinical ophthalmic parameters of the Quaker parrot (Myiopsitta monachus)
Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2022AbstractPurposeOphthalmic diagnosis in many avian species remains hindered by a lack of normative values. This study aimed to establish normal ophthalmic parameters for select diagnostic tests in clinically normal Quaker parrots.MethodsNinety‐six captive Quaker parrots aged 8–18 years underwent ophthalmic examination to include assessment of neuro ...

Skeletogenesis ofMyiopsitta monachus(Psittaciformes) and sequence heterochronies in Aves
Evolution & Development, 2016SUMMARYThe ossification sequence ofMyiopsitta monachuswas determined.Myiopsittahas a similar sequence to other altricial birds, with delayed skeletons compared to precocial species. The hindlimbs ossify before the forelimbs, a condition that could be linked to altriciality.

Temperature regulation and water requirements of the monk parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus
Oecologia, 1975Monk parakeets have been introduced into North America within the past 15 years and are apparently becoming established in several geographical regions. Several physiological responses of monk parakeets related to climatic tolerance were examined, and it is concluded that the species is equipped physiologically to occupy most climatic situations with ...

Lipid-Related Lesions in Quaker Parrots ( Myiopsitta monachus )
Veterinary Pathology, 2018The Quaker parrot has been used as a psittacine model to study clinical lipidology and lipid-related disorders. However, while Quaker parrots appear to be anecdotally susceptible to a variety of spontaneous dyslipidemic disorders and lesions caused by excess lipid accumulation, epidemiologic data are lacking.

Acyclovir (Zovirax®) pharmacokinetics in Quaker parakeets,Myiopsitta monachus
Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 1992The pharmacokinetics of intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m.) single‐dose administration of acyclovir were determined in Quaker parakeets. After i.v. injection at a dose of 20 mg/kg of acyclovir, elimination half‐life was estimated at 0.65 h, volume of distribution at steady state was 627.65 ml/kg, and clearance was 11.22 ml/kg/min. The estimated

Zoology, 2021
The tarsometatarsus conformation and foot types in birds are unique traits within vertebrates. We investigate how the tarsometatarsus and the zygodactyl foot are formed during development in the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus). Using bones, whole mount specimens stained for cartilage and bone, and histological sections, we focus on the osteology ...
