Egg Binding in Birds | Wag!
Read the full article at https://wagwalking.com/bird/condition... In many instances, a bird may be unable to expel the egg due to lack of contractions or weak contractions from inadequate calcium intake. If you have been feeding your bird seeds only, with no other supplements, you will need to administer vitamins right away. However, it is best to let the veterinarian tell you what amount of vitamins to give her. The complications of egg binding include damage to the kidneys from pressure of the retained egg, peritonitis from a ruptured egg, and prolapse of the cloaca or reproductive tract. It is important to get your bird to the veterinarian if you believe she is egg bound. Egg binding in birds is a common but possibly life threatening condition in which a bird is having a hard time laying an egg. It is more common in small birds such as canaries, finches, parakeets, budgies, lovebirds, and cockatiels, but the most common reason for egg binding is a lack of calcium or other vitamins. It is also more often seen in birds that are already ill or have other health issues such as advanced age, lack of exercise, and obesity. Another risk factor is inadequate environmental conditions such as not enough nesting materials, too cold or hot, and not enough water or feed. #egg #binding #birds Visit us at http://app.wagwalking.com/ Become a Pet Caregiver: http://bit.ly/wagapplication Download the iOS app: http://bit.ly/wagiosapp Download the Google Play app: http://bit.ly/waggoogleplay Our Services:: Walk: http://wagwalking.com/dog-walking In-Home Training: http://wagwalking.com/dog-training Digital Training: http://wagwalking.com/digital-training Drop-In Visits: http://wagwalking.com/drop-ins Wag!
