Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)

  • Bird species, both domestic and wild, are frequently exposed to a wide range of toxic compounds.
  • Toxicosis in avian patients is often a clinical challenge.
  • Diagnosis often relies on history and clinical signs because specific tests for most toxicants are not available in clinical practice, or they require unsustainable blood volume for small avian species.
  • The management of toxicoses consists of patient stabilization, decreasing toxin absorption, improving its elimination, and supporting therapy.
  • This literature review provides an outline of the most common toxicoses in birds, as well as their diagnosis and possible treatments.
  • birds toxicoses intoxication avian medicine exotic pet medicine The author(s) declare that no financial support was received for the research and/or publication of this article.
  • Indeed, several cases have been reported in the literature concerning both heavy metal intoxication and toxic plant ingestion ( 1 โ€“ 3 ).
  • Birds are smart and curious animals, and the accidental risk of toxic substance ingestion is relatively high.
  • The physiological response to toxic agents is highly variable and influenced by numerous factors.
  • Additionally, the nature of the specific toxicant, the route of exposure, and the quantity of the toxin inhaled or systemically absorbed play critical roles in determining the overall toxicological impact ( 3 ).
