Ask The Vet Session with Dr. Todd Driggers (video)

[flyzipper]

A few members speak very highly of Dr. Driggers, but this is my first exposure to him.

Rough summary of the topics discussed...

• Why are cockatiels prone to getting fat? Discussion of general nutrition.
• Feather destructive behaviour (this section generally had good overall points about caring for our birds)
• Amazon with dry feet (overall health considerations, diet, topical vitamin E)
• A person's conure experiences stress at the vet, discuss the need for annual vet visits, and light sedation.
• Seizures and strokes in cockatiels.
• Parrotlet died at 4 months, discuss necropsy, please talk about emergency care and first aid (recommended these videos)
• B&G Macaw feather issues, possibly related to trauma.
• What's happening when African Greys cry bloody tears.
• How important are natural sunlight and baths?
