Easy-to-follow step-by-step techniques for common clinical procedures in pet birds, focusing on common psittacine and passerine species

Manual of Clinical Procedures in Pet Birds provides easy-to-follow descriptions of a wide range of clinical techniques with step-by-step instructions for performing procedures in birds in the veterinary clinic, ranging from common techniques for surgery preparation and recovery, cardiology, anesthesia, imaging, sedation, and euthanasia. Each chapter includes a description of the procedure and the equipment needed, stepwise techniques, cautions and precautions, and references. Useful rationale/amplification sections answer 'how' and 'why' questions and provide information about some of the more common problems associated with the procedure.

High-quality color photographs illustrate the techniques, showing how to physically manage the bird, the equipment needed, and the steps of the procedure. An accompanying companion website has videos showing some of the procedures.
