She ended up passing away, but others had the exact same thing and died too, so i decided to do a necropsy on her sibling to figure out the cause of death. She had a enlarged heart, spotted liver, lots of fluid in her cavities, and ascites. And there appeared to be some other problems. I do have photos if that would be educational to post?
Thank you for answering. I did some testing and found out that mine have infectious coryza and am treating with Tribrissen.
We always appreciate people posting necropsy photos as a way of learning. Sorry for your loss. How old was she? Did you do the necropsy yourself? Have you had any others since get sick or show similar symptoms? Did the liver look larger than normal?
I’ll try remembering to make a thread for it later then, she was about a year old. I had an avian vet do it with me. No other sick birds sense that happened. I think the liver looked larger, it did have a lot of spots though.
It could have been avian lymphoid leukosis virus. That can cause an enlarged liver that is covered in spots after the age of 4 months old. If you could post the pictures her as well, it could be helpful. You could also start a new thread as well.
Wow, that's cool!
I have some connections with her so she’s been mentoring me for when i do my avian vet training.
Now that i think about it I probably still have the lab results i could pull up and post
Yeah, i’m working on a lot of animal science.
