Essentials of Parrot Medicine and Surgery

An accessible guide to parrot medicine for the general veterinary practitioner

Essentials of Parrot Medicine and Surgery is for veterinarians treating parrots in general practice. Designed as a quick reference, the book is applicable to the most commonly kept parrot species and covers essentials including anatomy, nutrition, history-taking, pathology and imaging. A range of surgical options are also presented by anatomical regions and include biopsy and anaesthesia.

Built on these principles, the authors also provide an entire section on differential diagnostics. Logically arranged by presenting signs such as regurgitation, feather disorders, dropped wings, lameness and parasites.

Readers will also find:

• Differential diagnostic and problem-based approaches by presenting signs in the parrot
• Information relevant to the non-specialist practitioner
• Consideration of behavior, training, and behavioral diseases
• Appendices including an avian formulary, summary tables of infectious diseases, toxins, and more

Essentials of Parrot Medicine and Surgery is authored by a team with decades of experience in avian and exotic practice and is a must-have for any veterinary practitioner seeking a handy reference. It will also serve as a refresher for educators and specialists in avian veterinary medicine.
