Case 2: bird by

2021-02-10 12:24:42 UTC

use a wash to clean the area highlighted with a shampoo whilst waiting for the results of the culture test to come back before desiding the treatment you are then going to carry out or plan for this bird

2021-02-16 12:44:59 UTC

whilst waiting for culture results I would try to clean up the area as much as possible, with the aid of specialised shampoos and topical creams. Most important of all ensuring that all apparatus used is cleaned thoroughly to reduce the chance of bacterial contamination.

2021-02-18 12:05:50 UTC

use a specialised shampoo on affected area and stick to a plain diet

2021-02-19 00:20:17 UTC

I would make sure that the patient is on a strict diet, and I would use specialist shampoo on the infected area. Then once results come in would prescribe what is needed to help the patient and would educate the owner on what it is and how to help prevent it from happening again.

2021-02-21 00:33:56 UTC

Order sensitivity tests and cultures.
Before the results I would prescribe an antimicrobial topical and amoxicillin. Cleanliness in your home is vital. Food safety control

2021-03-01 21:46:57 UTC

First use the correct diet, wait for the culture results, clean up the area as much as posible, use a topical antibacterial, I suggest biochemical investigation and educate the owner

2021-03-03 15:18:28 UTC

Try to keep the surface clean until the results are back and indicate which antibiotic will be most suitable and if there is any resistance. Ask about the conditions at home and ensure hygiene measures are put in place. Before results don't use systemic antimicrobials

2021-03-30 05:31:03 UTC

clean the lesions after taking samples,since it is superficial we can delay antibiotics use till test results come

2021-04-29 18:41:48 UTC

1. Firts a wound cleaning and secondly avoid stressing the bird by increasing enviromental enrichment.

2021-04-29 18:45:19 UTC

2. Some topical cream and if possible an e.collar

2021-05-01 18:27:24 UTC

Topical cleansing whilst awaiting C&S results. Further investigation of husbandry and environment. Take steps to correct diet, minimise stressors

2021-05-26 08:40:35 UTC

wait for results to prescribe any antimicrobials but clean the wound and put the bird into a clean environment to wait for the results as it may be its normal cage causing the infection

2021-07-07 20:36:08 UTC

C and S testing, educate owners about correct husbandry and feeding. Cleanse under the wing. Avoid antimicrobial treatment until recieve results.

2021-08-17 20:43:07 UTC

Clean wound and whilst waiting for results educate owners on proper care for the bird in the future so problem does not arise again

1. Check for dietary problems, make sure the bird is entertained enough, draw a blood sample and take samples from the lesions. 2. Clean and cover the wound, suggest to the owner ways to keep the bird occupied and potentially use a cone collar if possible to minimise further damage.

2021-10-16 06:18:06 UTC

Since it's a case of ulcerative dermatitis, it can be treated as a wound until results are available. Superficial cleaning with iodine based compounds and application of topical ointments is appropriate. Along with this environment enrichment should be practiced to avoid any future problems.

2022-03-16 11:30:52 UTC

clean up the wound and apply some tropical ointments to it. put a cone on for him so he doesnt open the wound more or get some the bacteria in his system and do a full on examination and dont forget some treats for him

2022-04-08 08:43:59 UTC

1: Feather plucking can have many etiologies both psychological and related to disease. I would start by showing them certain changes they can make at home to improve their animals life, such as diet and enrichment. If the owners have the budget for it, I would like to perform X-ray and a complete blood count and biochemistry to assess the general state of the animal, and maybe test for circovirus or polyomavirus.
2: I would treat the wound topically and maybe consider a collar to avoid further damaging until I can treat them with the right antibiotic and have more information on the general health of the animal.

2022-08-25 06:55:46 UTC

1 ..use ointment on affected area regularly and wait for results.

2022-09-08 05:11:50 UTC

Clean the wound thoroughly and wait for C+S results. Take a history of the bird including any stress factors or dietary changes

2022-09-17 18:35:06 UTC

Take feather pluckings and maybe skin scrapes for cytology. Aswell as swabs for culture and sensitivity. Clean the lesions and prescribe first line defence antibiotics. Review the antibiotics when the culture and sensitivity results come back.

2022-10-03 17:44:19 UTC

I would start be explaining the correct husbandry and nutrition. Take feather plucks and skin scrapes. Whilst waiting for results I would keep the wound clean

My approach would be to first attempt cytology, then debride and cleanse the wound using dilute chlorhexadine or povidone iodine.

My antibacterial of choice in this situation would be to use silver sulfadiazine.

To prevent further trauma I would fit an Elizabethan collar.

I always give a guarded prognosis with axillary wounds.

2024-01-07 16:35:04 UTC

Keeping the lesions clean and explaining to the owner about parrot nutrition would be key here.

2024-09-29 08:17:32 UTC

cytology first and clean and sterile dress the wound, discourage bird from angering skin further. once results arrive select most appropriate treatment

2024-10-13 13:57:11 UTC

1) I would take a sample for C&S and explain to the owner why this step is important. I would start with first-line treatment and explain to the owner the reason why antibiotics are not given straight away.

2) While waiting for C&S results, I would treat the patient with first-line empircial treatment that was not antimicrobial e.g. NSAIDs. I would clean and instruct the use of topical ointment to reduce inflammation at the legions.

2025-02-05 12:20:24 UTC

1) Would explain the the owner regarding the correct enrichment and nutrition

2) Clean and cover the wound and avoid Antimicrobial treatment until more details

2025-09-30 21:44:33 UTC

Discuss appropriate parrot nutrition with the owner to prevent future problems. Ensure the wound is sterile whilst waiting for the cytology results.

correct samples and treat it with first line empirical treatments as i wait for the results
