Ovarian tumors in pigeons are relatively rare but can occur in actively breeding female birds. These tumors can be benign or malignant and may cause symptoms such as changes in behavior, decreased egg production, weight loss, or difficulty breathing.

Treatment options for ovarian tumors in pigeons may include surgery to remove the tumor, chemotherapy, or other supportive care measures. The prognosis for ovarian tumors in pigeons can vary depending on the type of tumor and how early it is diagnosed and treated.

Preventive measures such as ensuring a balanced diet, providing proper nesting materials, and regular veterinary check-ups can help reduce the risk of ovarian tumors in pigeons.

In this case the tumour mass had extension to kidney. Considering the prognosis and age the owner opted for humane euthanasia.It was suspected to be chronic egg binding. Earlier diagnoses can help detect tumours at a controllable stage.

FUNGAL DERMATITIS IN BEARDED DRAGON
The classical appearance of a N. guarroi infection is a crusty yellow lesion, and it is sometimes called “yellow fungus disease.” However,often a bearded dragon with this infection will have dark crusty lesions rather than yellow ones.
Bearded dragons with YFD often shows up as a small yellow to brown crust on the surface of a few scales that in time gets larger. Other crusts may appear elsewhere on the body in a random fashion and eventually turn dark and thickened or rough.
As the disease progresses, it may become an internal infection and lead to poor appetite, weight loss, and death. YFD is contagious and can spread from one dragon to another both by direct contact between animals and through the air. Young bearded dragons seem to more vulnerable to YFD than adults
YFD is associated with stress, often seen in dragons kept under crowded unsanitary conditions. It’s often seen in those dragons which are raised in groups, shipped in groups, or displayed for sale in groups. It is also thought that injured toenails and minor bite wounds associated with dragons under crowded conditions results in damage to the skin which provides an opening for the fungus to infect the dragon.

Snapping turtles are noted for their large size and aggressive nature. They are tan to black in colour and have a rough upper shell, a small cross-shaped lower shell, a long tail, and a large head with hooked jaws.

Common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is widespread from Canada to the west coast of northern South America.It is distinguished by a saw-edged crest on the upper side of its tail and averages 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) in shell length and 4.5–16 kg (10–35 pounds) in weight. When young it has three longitudinal ridges on the upper shell; these become worn down with time. The common snapping turtle is often found buried in mud in shallow water. It is omnivorous,

The alligator snapping turtle, Macrochelys temminckii, is the largest freshwater turtle in the United States.The alligator snapping turtle is a sedentary turtle with three prominent longitudinal ridges on the upper shell. Shell length is about 40–70 cm (16–28 inches); weight ranges from about 18 to 70 kg (40 to 155 pounds) with a record of about 100 kg. The alligator snapping turtle has a wormlike appendage on the floor of its mouth. It often lies quietly on the bottom, mouth open, and lures fishes within reach by means of this structure. It also eats plants

RADIO-HUMERAL SYNOVITIS in Blue and Gold Macaw

Synovitis : Inflammation of the synovial membrane. This membrane lines joints that possess cavities, known as synovial joints. The condition is usually painful, particularly when the joint is moved. The joint usually swells due to synovial fluid collection.

Causes are usually trauma to joint.
Infectious synovitis can occur in poultry which is caused by Mycoplasma synoviae.

Treatment is aimed at pain management,reducing oedema, immobilizaton and then normal functioning of elbow joint ( physiotherapy )

If inspissated pus sets in surgical debridement may be sought.

It is extremely common to find in overweight animals in areas where there are fat deposits.
It is common in budgies, Amazons and Galah cockatoos.
Dietary management can be the best option.
One may opt for surgical removal if seems more problematic for the owner🤣🤣

Update on Avian Orthodontics:
CUSTOMIZED OVERHEAD BRACE

Earlier we posted about Scissor beak correction in Grey Parrot .Trans-sinus pinning was a failure in Grey parrot as it showed violent recovery from GA.
But that didn't prevent us from trying. Hence we Dr. Abraham and Dr.
Lakshmi K U
devised a new technique
named " *Customized Over Head Brace*" to which beak was attached under a lateral force contralateral to the deviation. It has to be kept for a minimum of 14 to 21 days to obtain desired result.It is performed under General Anaesthesia and is advisable to keep the bird as In-patient.Though its doesn't align perfectly due to unequal growth of Rhinotheca,Now it's able to eat even the smallest millets.🤩🤩 This procedure can be employed for smaller birds.Waiting for our Paper to be published 🙏

Thanks to JJ for the trust he put on us. ❤❤❤

METABOLIC BONE DISEASE(MBD)

Metabolic bone disease also known as fibrous osteodystrophy or secondary
nutritional hyperparathyroidism.
It is due to deficiency of calcium or Vitamin D3 or Ca:P imbalance

Ideal Ca:P ratio for folivorous reptiles is 2:1.Nutritionally unbalanced diet must include adequate Calcium, Magnesium,Phosphorus and VitD3. Altered Ca:P ratio,Vit D3 deficiency due improper exposure to UV-B light.
Weakening of bones,bending,otitis,abnormal mineralization are symptoms of MBD.
Early signs start as RUBBER JAW or swelling of lower jaws or hind limbs.

This condition if detected early can be cured by proper management, husbandry and diet.

Proper natural diet has sufficient amount of minerals and vitamins.
Greens that are good in Ca:P are Beet green, Broccoli, Turnip green, mustard green, Moringa and Colacasia leaves.

In severe cases injectables and fluids are required.

Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD) in Female Grand Eclectus.

PBFD is a slowly progressing, contagious viral disease of Psittacines ( parrots) caused by Circovirus.It affects the feather follicles and deteriorates the feather quality.Cracking and desquamation of beak and claws can happen leading to secondary bacterial or fungal invasion.
Transmission is by feco- oral route but every secretion and feather dusts are potent to transmit this disease.
Virus can live upto one and half years in environment. Affected birds exhibits symptoms only later in life.
Confirmation is by history, symptoms and PCR. Treatment seems to be futile.Treatment should aimed at Secondary invaders. With proper care and management ( especially nutrition )its quality of life can be improved.

Adoption of such birds must be encouraged 😇😇

Of the 12 Avipox viruses, canary pox appears to be highly pathogenic and fatal ( mortality rate 80% or more). It affects the unfeathered areas especially the legs.Scabs, nodules or even blood bags may be seen on legs and face.Confirmatory diagnosis is based on presence of inclusion bodies : Bollinger bodies. Transmission is by arthrpod vectors (mosquito ) and close contact on abraded skin. Very difficult to treat but a preventable disease.

Mandibular surgery in Emu chick #aav #avianvet#birdsofinstagram #birdlovers

Since the 1970s, endoscopy has been utilised in avian medicine, mostly to determine gender in nonsexually dimorphic birds. The treatment is now safer and causes less stress for the patient thanks to the development of suitable inhalation anaesthetics. This chapter describes psittacine patients and related operations utilising rigid endoscopes, unless otherwise specified. Endoscopes are fiberoptic probes that allow for visual examination of inside body components through magnification. Imaging modalities like radiography and ultrasonography can be enhanced by endoscopy. As a diagnostic tool, direct viewing of internal structures through the endoscope offers many benefits.There are situations in which using a flexible or semi-rigid endoscope is beneficial. Despite being minimally invasive, the majority of endoscopic treatments do require anaesthesia.Even though endoscopic operations are often minimally intrusive, anaesthesia is still necessary for pain management and restraining. The risk of endoscopic visualisation is negligible when done by a skilled professional. On the other hand, the risk goes up with more invasive procedures (surgery, biopsy) (Table 24.5). The practitioner should become skilled at endoscopic location and visualisation of internal structures in order to reduce patient risk and maximise diagnostic information. #avianvet #avian #birdsofinstagram #birds #breeding #endo #endoscopy #endoscopia #repro #reproduction #aav #vetlife #vet #vetfamily #vetfauna #vetsurgery #vetendoscopytrainingcenter #vetsak #ivsa
