Techniques for handling, emergency procedures, and supportive care of small psittacines and passerines are reviewed in the first part of this article. Most birds in this group weigh less than 100 g, limiting the diagnostic tests and procedures that can be performed. Familiarity with common diseases affecting small psittacines and passerines and their presentation will allow for timely assessment and maximization of diagnostic tests increasing the probability for an accurate diagnosis. Common causes of emergency clinical presentations, recommended diagnostic procedures and treatment protocols are reviewed in the second part of this article. Lastly, quick reference tables that overview normal biological parameters, guidelines for tube feeding, etiologies of dyspnea, oral and respiratory medication regimens, emergency drugs, and the equipment necessary for handling the small avian emergency patient also are included to facilitate emergency care and treatment of these species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101153,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine","volume":"14 2","pages":"Pages 90-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1053/j.saep.2005.04.004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78064191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary treatment for lead toxicosis consists of the retrieval of lead particles from the digestive tract, and the secondary treatment consists of the use of chelating agents and support therapy. Lead retrieval from falcons with lead toxicosis should be undertaken immediately after the metallic radiodense particles have been observed in the gastrointestinal tract on survey radiographs.
