The sick baby bird
BSAVA Manual of Avian PracticeThe sick baby bird is a commonly presented patient at any practice dealing with birds. Frequently presented as emergencies, sick chicks tend to decompensate faster than adult birds, which necessitates a quicker, more targeted approach to diagnosis and treatment. This chapter details the special considerations in practice management, clinical assessment and treatment required by avian paediatric medicine. Case examples: Cockatiel chick with bacterial crop infection; Eclectus Parrot chick with crop fistula; Suspected polyomavirus in hand-reared chicks.

The sick bird
BSAVA Manual of Avian PracticeBirds described as ‘not doing right’ may be suffering from a diverse range of physical, nutritional, environmental and behavioural conditions. It is only once a diagnosis is made that appropriate therapy can be instigated in order to offer the very best chance of resolution This chapter outlines a methodical, systematic approach to diagnosis of the sick bird. Case examples: Goshawk with aspergillosis; African Grey Parrot with hypocalcaemia; Lanner Falcon with spondylosis; Peregrine Falcon with a coccidia burden.

Special considerations in wound management
BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Wound Management and ReconstructionThis chapter considers a number of specific types of wound that may require surgical management, such as pharyngeal stick injuries, chronic draining sinuses, bullet, burn and bite wounds. It also discusses the surgical management of some specific skin conditions such as skin fold pyoderma and perianal fistulas. Causes of sinus tracts include bacterial infection, penetrating foreign bodies (e.g. plant awns, wood splinters, insect mouth parts), bone sequestra, surgical implants (e.g. sutures, meshes, orthopaedic implants) and neoplasia. Sinus tracts can occur at many locations on the body, depending on the cause, its point of entry/location and any migratory path. The interdigital spaces, ear canals, oral mucosa, conjunctiva and nares are common points of entry. All sinus tracts should be thoroughly investigated and explored surgically to determine and eliminate (if possible) the cause. It is important to develop a systematic approach to the investigation of sinus tracts. If the cause is not eliminated, the problem will recur. Chronic sinus tracts can be extremely frustrating to manage for the patient, client and veterinary surgeon, as small fragments of foreign material can be elusive and repeated surgical intervention may be required. The chapter looks at Chronic draining sinus tracts; Oropharyngeal stick injuries; Perianal fistulation (anal furunculosis); Bite wounds; Burns management; Projectile injuries; Redundant skin folds and skin fold pyoderma (intertrigo); Footpad surgery; Mammary gland surgery; and Wound bed vascular augmentation using omentum. Case examples: Management of a shotgun injury to the face. Operative techniques: Anal sacculectomy; Episioplasty; Caudectomy; Fusion podoplasty; Phalangeal fillet (Digital pad transfer); Footpad grafts; and Mastectomy.

Surgical drains in wound management and reconstructive surgery
BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Wound Management and ReconstructionA drain is a conduit placed in the wound to remove fluid and air. This usually refers to surgical implants, typically Penrose drains or closed suction drains; however, an autogenous drain, the omentum, can be used in selective cases. An alternative method of providing wound drainage is to leave part of the wound open. This technique is effective in open peritoneal drainage and can also work well with severely contaminated or necrotic skin wounds. The chapter looks at Indications for drain usage; Types of drain; Drain placement; Postoperative and drain care; Drain removal; Complications; and Drains in specific surgeries. Case examples: Drainage of a flank abscess; Surgical management and drainage of a chronic mucocele. Operative techniques: Placement of a Penrose drain; Placement of an active suction drain
