Waterfowl have a penis-like structure in the cloaca which can 'uitgestulpt' by examination of the cloaca. The animal is placed in a supine and by pressure with the fingers from bottom to top, the penis, well "packaged" is in the cloacal tissues, made visible. This requires some skill and experience. The penis of birds may be absent (parrots), present as a small, non uitstulpbaar organ (turkeys, poultry) or uitstulpbaar body (ostriches, waterfowl). In waterfowl is the penis in a cavity (bag) into the cloaca hidden and only the front part will appear in erection, in contrast medivet veterinary group with ostriches. the swan of 3.5 months in the picture turned out to be male. 15.08.2012, 20:36 written by erwin vet Louagie Comments (0) 07.24.2012 DEVELOPED BY BEK / FOR LONG BEAK GREY PARROT medivet veterinary group If the beak of a parrot or parakeet grows too long, he must be updated regularly. When a parrot with hard jaws happens best with a dremel because it happens that a jaw split in the longitudinal direction when a cutter used, with all its consequences. This grinding done under anesthesia to avoid the parrot his tongue against the dremel would stabbing. Here two pictures: medivet veterinary group one before and one after treatment. On the second and third pictures sleeping parrot yet. 24.07.2012, 12:02 written by erwin vet Louagie Comments (0) CURLED medivet veterinary group FOOT / fist MAKE a parakeet
As a result of a neurological (nerve problem) may be a type of muscle spasm arising from the bending of the toes. The bird makes a kind of 'fist' medivet veterinary group and could with difficulty his toes stretch. In many cases, the concerned nerve which runs on the kidneys. If a kidney inflammation occurs, the nerve in the inflammation involved with this issue as a result. Also trauma, pressure on the nerve (tumor, legnood) or a vitamin deficiency (rare) may give rise to such a thing. This phenomenon is also seen in chickens with 'marek disease' where the virus affects the nerve. Once the nerve affected, the problem is difficult to solve. Once the disease is treated and the bird survives, he will usually suffer. Some pet birds can still provided extra care, a beautiful life. 24.07.2012, 11:58 written by erwin vet Louagie Comments (0) 07/21/2012 intoxication (poisoning) by Panacur Panacur (active ingredient fenbendazole) medivet veterinary group is a wormer that is regularly used by birders.

There are safer wormers but some kind of worm infection, namely its cappillaria worms or is it better to use Panacur. On the two pictures you can see that the kidneys medivet veterinary group normally have a smooth surface, 'ribbed' by 'tubular necrosis', which means they are damaged such that they are the blood of the bird can not purify the bird dies by self-poisoning . On the second picture, the kidneys, for clarity, outlined with a black border. 21.07.2012, 12:32 written by erwin vet Louagie Comments (0) 05/07/2012 Snowy dislocated WITH PAW
This photo of the leg of a snowy owl is a luxation (dislocation) of the tibio-tarsal joint to see. The ligaments were at least very stretched, and probably at least partially torn. We opted for a complete immobilization of the joint for at least 3 weeks by means of pins, into put under anesthesia. After that period, and the removal of the pins allows the bird to his own 'physiotherapy' to get the joint back smoothly. 07.05.2012, 15:08 written by erwin vet Louagie Comments (0) Caique metal poisoning (zinc)

Also, the liver produces bile to digest fats. The bird is sick, has nausea, sleeps a lot, and diarrhea. A poor diet rich in fats and toxins such as chocolate can, after a period lead to cirrhosis. With timely intervention, if still active liver tissue is present, and
