Anesthesia can be used to facilitate handling during diagnostic procedures and during surgery. Studies of wild waterfowl rely commonly on radiotelemetry to provide accurate information on movements, habitat use, behavior, and survival. Waterfowl research involving the use of transmitters can necessitate the use of anesthetics, especially when the transmitters are intraabdominal. In captive or domestic waterfowl, hangover effects of anesthesia are not important, but in wild waterfowl, this becomes a concern. Reversal of sedation is desirable because suitable conditions for safe recovery may be impossible to provide for wild waterfowl. In this case, rapid recovery from anesthesia also is important to minimize stress, prevent pair bond disruption, and reduce detrimental effects of egg cooling while females are not incubating.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101153,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine","volume":"13 4","pages":"Pages 206-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1053/j.saep.2004.04.006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138387252","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}

There are approximately 50 native species in North America, all of which are considered migratory.

In the United States, there are several nonnative species found with increasing frequency that many don’t realize are feral exotics. There also are state laws dealing with owning exotic waterfowl and prohibition of their release. Native waterfowl occupy a variety of wet habitats, have unique feeding requirements, have specific enclosure and substrate needs, and should be treated by someone with expertise to ensure recovery sufficient for return to the wild. If a practitioner is going to accept wild waterfowl as patients, it is important they know the laws, identify species, understand species natural history, and learn about associated common problems.

Pet reptiles are those that can be maintained in glass aquaria in home table top environments. Aquatic reptiles, by the nature of their environment—water—are more difficult to keep in a homoeostatic environment.

However, one area that should not be overlooked is waterfowl husbandry, especially if we want to develop preventive medicine strategies for the flock. Husbandry aspects need to be considered because certain management factors may predispose the waterfowl flock to certain diseases. Avian health professionals should also be aware of the common duck and geese breeds that are commonly kept in backyard flock. This type of information can provide information on flock personality and unique anatomical characteristics. In addition, understanding the different breeds will allow avian health professionals to assist in recommending the appropriate waterfowl to our clients. Waterfowl have unique husbandry requirements when compared to other poultry species, and having a better understanding of husbandry aspects like housing and feeding can help to prevent diseases from reoccurring in the flock. By having a better understanding of waterfowl husbandry, we can ensure that our waterfowl patients receive the best medical care and continue to remain healthy.","PeriodicalId":101153,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine","volume":"13 4","pages":"Pages 184-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1053/j.saep.2004.04.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86672270","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}
