Pathology of Pet and Avian Birds

Post by cindy » Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:39 pm

This is a book that I referer from time to time. It tallks about the birds anatomy in great detail, every possible issue as far as disease goes. It is 250 pages long and can be downloaded using facebook or setting up an account.

I found it interesting and was surprised to read that some female birds that become eggbound can pass away because adhesions form and attach to the egg and the oviduct, preventing the egg to pass. Also female birds can get ovian cancer. The book covers in detail diseases, vitamin deficiencies, trauma, birth defects, DIS and many more topics.
