Description
Avian anaesthesia can be extremely difficult as birds are often a lot more sick than they initially appear. They also have a number of unique physiological adaptations to flight that make their cardiorespiratory physiology very different to that of mammals and so make their anaesthetic requirements very different as well. This talk will give a practical approach to avian anaesthesia and its pitfalls- birds can be successfully anaesthetised in general practice and many tips and tricks will be discussed.
