Bacterial diseases in Birds

Skills, medications and protocols used in domestic carnivores medicine and surgery are applicable to exotics. Thus, thorough physical examination should be followed by several clinical tests. Because most of birds are close depend on their environmental conditions, husbandry records are more than important. Review information on apparently healthy animals and the sick individual is part of the diagnostic process. Before any therapy is instituted, the clinician must carefully consider questions on husbandry situation of the patient, especially its nutritional status. There is no sense for instance to institute an antimicrobial therapy without correcting zootechnical deficits.
