Egg binding in caged and aviary birds.Mod Vet Pract. 1984 Jun; 65(6):437-40.MV
Abstract
Egg binding most often affects budgerigars, cockatiels, finches and canaries. Causes include oversized or malpositioned eggs, lack of exercise, nesting too early or late, excessive egg laying, uterine damage or infection, obesity, malnutrition, sudden drops in ambient temperature and genetic factors. Clinical signs are perching unsteadily with ruffled feathers and half-closed eyelids, frequent tail-wagging or straining, swelling over the tail base, and sitting on the cage bottom. Diagnosis is by physical examination and radiography. Treatment may involve increasing the ambient temperature to 85-90 F, lubricating the vent, IM injections of Ca solution and/or oxytocin, egg aspiration and laparotomy.
