Due to their often small size and unique physical characteristics, birds can deteriorate rapidly in the event of illness and injury. This concise, practical guide will help veterinary professionals to provide first aid and emergency care for birds, as well as to instruct clients on providing basic first aid when they are unable to get to the clinic. It includes guidance for those presented with a moribund, critically ill patient i.e., recognising and treating hypothermia, hypoxia, hypovolaemia and hypoglycaemia. The book also lists of alarming signs of disease and toxic plants, and includes clinical procedures, emergency drug formulary and bandaging techniques. Finally, it offers guidance to veterinarians giving advice to bird owners for first aid at home. (4e de couverture)
