Evaluation of Intraosseous Excretory Urography Using Iodixanol for Renal Imaging in Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus). [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study demonstrates that intraosseous injection of iodixanol into the proximal tibiotarsal bone provides a reliable, safe, and practical method for diagnostic excretory urography in budgerigars. The technique offers clear visualisation of renal structures and can be an alternative when intravenous access is limited in avian patients.

Multidrug-Resistant Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Producing Escherichia coli in Pet Birds of Bangladesh. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
An alarming 43.83% of cloacal samples revealed multidrug‐resistant ESBL‐E. coli, with TEM being the most frequently detected resistance gene. These results underscore pet birds as hidden reservoirs of MDR pathogens, posing a potential threat to public health in Bangladesh. Routine surveillance and responsible antimicrobial use are crucial to mitigating
