Feather Loss in a Budgie

Abstract

A 3 year-old budgie with the complaint of feather loss and disturbed body
growth, was referred to the clinic. In history, it was understood that two
offspring showed healthy growth within the first year of their life,
then
scaling on the skin was observed in one of the budgie’s feet. Over the next 3
months the body feathers began to fall. In the hairless regions, new feathers
appeared in a cottony look and weak structure. But these new feathers shed
before they could finish growing. The food and water appetite had not
deteriorated during this time.

In physical examination, there were a few feather in cotton appearance on the body of the budgie. Bird
had difficulty in
balancing his body while standing and walking.
Nowhere in the bird's body
has
skin lesions.
In mycological culture, Aspergillus
spp was isolated.
 Bird died a week
after being brought to the clinic.





When the etiology of the disease is
assessed in the budgies >3 years old, all feathers have fallen and body
development has deteriorated, it has been concluded that it is appropriate to
consider chronic diseases which cause weakening of the immune system resulting
in diseases such as aspergillosis.
