Psittacine Incubation and Pediatrics
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2012Psittacine pediatric medicine and surgery can only continue to be practiced by avian veterinarians if psittacine aviculture (the successful captive breeding of parrot species) is active and thriving. Although beautiful, intelligent parrots are popular as beloved pets and reside in zoo and private collections around the world, private psittacine ...

Juvenile Psittacine Environmental Enrichment
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2015Environmental enrichment is of great import to the emotional, intellectual, and physical development of the juvenile psittacine and their success in the human home environment. Five major types of enrichment include social, occupational, physical, sensory, and nutritional. Occupational enrichment includes exercise and psychological enrichment. Physical

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1991These few subjects are only a small fragment of the scope of pediatric medicine but are critical in their impact. The depth of material needed to cover the subject adequately should fill a textbook. If, however, aviculturists could master these seven areas, the numbers of babies requiring medical or surgical therapy would decrease dramatically.

Pacheco's Disease in Psittacine Birds
Avian Diseases, 1984Pacheco's disease, caused by a herpesvirus, was diagnosed in 20 groups of 47 psittacine birds received for necropsy. A tentative diagnosis, based on history and gross lesions, was confirmed by one or more of the following observations: Cowdry type A inclusions in the hepatocytes and cells of other affected tissues, pathogenicity of tissue suspensions ...

Immunization against Psittacine Pox
Avian Diseases, 1985Pox virus isolated from psittacine birds was used as a vaccine in trials with love birds (Agapornis roseicollis). The vaccine was applied by wing-web puncture using single- and double-needle applicators. Immunity was effective against challenge with virulent psittacine pox virus administered via the feather follicle/thigh.

Protein electrophoresis of psittacine plasma
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2007Background: Although protein electrophoresis (EPH) has been widely applied in human and veterinary medicine, it has only recently been implemented in the analysis of avian samples. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the application of protein EPH to the analysis of psittacine plasma samples. Our goals were to describe protein fraction

Mycobacteriosis in Psittacines: A Potential for Zoonotic Disease?
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2012Introduction. Mycobacterium spp. is still a problem, especially in ornamental fowl and pet birds and, for underlying the relevance of this infection in the latter, the authors report a retrospective study on mycobacteriosis in 123 psittacines.Materials and methods: These cases were analyzed by means of gross examination, histopathology (haematoxylin ...

Inclusion bodies and hepatopathies in psittacines
Avian Pathology, 1987Intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatic cells of seven Peach-faced Lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis), two Black-masked Love birds (A. personata) and two galahs (Cacatua roseicapilla) were examined electron microscopically. Thin sections were prepared from formalin-fixed Epon-embedded tissue or from haematoxylin and eosin stained sections that were ...

Veterinary Radiology, 1990
The psittacine skull is a complex anatomic structure, frequently traumatized but difficult to adequately image with standard radiographic procedures. Multiple views including a ventrodorsal, a lateral, and complementary oblique projections are necessary to fully evaluate potential skull fractures in the avian patient.
