The many advances in psittacine medicine since the previous edition was
published in 1996 are reflected in this Manual, which has been updated and
rewritten under the direction of a new editorial partnership. The extended use
of colour photographs adds to the extra usefulness of this successor to a well
loved volume. Clinical examination is presented in a logical, highly practical
way, with integrated photographs of key features. The chapter ends with notes
on critical and emergency cases. The basic techniques of injection, crop
tubing, microchipping, and wing, claw and beak clipping are described and
illustrated. The role of clinical pathology is demonstrated, including colour
images of haematology and cytology, and a step-by-step post-mortem examination
procedure is presented. Diagnostic imaging encompasses radiography,
ultrasonography and endoscopy, with views of both normal and abnormal
presentations. Surgical principles plus procedures for both soft and hard
tissues are then described. Subsequent chapters cover systemic illnesses and
disease by individual organ system. These are designed to be read in their
entirety or to be referred to as needed.For general practitioners the
most commonly seen psittacine patients are small parrots, Cockateils and
Budgerigars. A chapter is therefore devoted to dealing with common problems in
these small patients. This practical approach to the sick bird is extended in
an appendix of diagnostic algorithms for common presentations such as 'fluffing
up', fitting and feather damage. The editors both developed their interests in
avian medicine from general practice and this has resulted in a practical,
easy-to-use and relevant guide to psittacine medicine.
