Here is another one that I did for a friend. She sent me a video of her hen gasping for air. I asked her if there was any drainage, eye bubbles or any other sign of respiratory infection and she said no. I told her she could come get some medications from me, but by the time she got ready to...

Same friend brought me another pea about six months later. Gizzard with hole from foreign body. Inside gizzard

This is from a friend's peahen. Inside the "growth" was a needle.

Time to update!

I thought there were liver pictures a few posts back?

Was there any fluid in the belly?

Have you seen this?

I am very sorry for your loss. :hugs

The pathologist at the lab I use likes it when I send him unusual necropsy pictures and will often reply with "that looks like x disease, but cannot know for sure without further testing". Call and ask for the email address of the lead avian person, I bet they'd be more than happy to look at the...

I will send your pictures off to Davis... Sometimes I get a reply, but sometimes I don't. Have you thought about sending them to the avian pathologist at you state lab? -Kathy
