8 Matting Disorders of nestling in exotic birds Introduction very common problem in female of birds - budgie, cockatiel, kakariky, rosela in connection with numerous numbers of eggs in this species very often pure diet - deficite of calcium, vitamin E, selenium sometimes in females on the first nestling Disorders of nestling in exotic birds Possible problems: Chronic egg laying Egg binding and dystocia Salpingitis and metritis Oviductal impaction Oviductal rupture Egg-related Septic Peritonitis Characterization Chronic egg laying hen lays repeated clutches or larger than normal clutch size without regard to the presence of a mate or accurate breeding season. this process often physically exhausts the reproductive tract and is a serious metabolic drain, particularly on calcium stores, all of which may predispose the hen to egg binding, yolk coelomitis and osteoporosis affected species include cockatiels, finches and lovebirds 8
9 Therapy I Chronic egg laying focuses on stopping egg production while altering any predisposing stimuli Pharmacologic, behavioral, nutritional, environmental and surgical options are used alone or in combination depending on the needs of the individual. Medroxyprogesterone acetate, though often effective, may cause serious side effects such as polyuria/polydipsia, obesity, lethargy, hepatic lipidosis, diabetes mellitus, hepatic cirrhosis and death Therapy II Chronic egg laying Environmental stimuli should be altered, including decreasing the photoperiod to 8-10 hours of daylight per day. Nest sites, toys and other items toward which the bird has a sexual affinity should be removed from the enclosure removal of eggs from the nest should be avoided for the normal incubation period for each species to discourage the hen from laying further eggs to replace those removed Stimulatory petting such as rubbing the pelvis, dorsum and cloacal regions and kissing the beak should be avoided Feeding calorically dense diets should be avoided Egg binding and dystocia Characterization Egg binding is defined as the failure of an egg to pass through the oviduct within a normal period of time Causes of egg binding chronic egg laying oviductal muscle dysfunction secondary to excessive egg laying calcium metabolic disease malformed eggs mechanical tears or damage to the oviduct oviductal infections Causes of dystocia developing egg in the distal oviduct obstructs the cloaca oviductal torsion Egg binding and dystocia Clinical sings Depended on severity and secundary complication acute depression, abdominal straining, persistent tail wagging, a wide stance, failure to perch, abdominal distension, dyspnea, and/or sudden death most common in cockatiel, budgie and canary 9
