Training courses by Dr. Lorenzo CROSTA
Teaching goals
- Avian medicine is complex and the veterinarian who takes care of it must necessarily be an all-rounder as far as birds are concerned. This also includes neonatology and paediatrics, which are very particular and specific species topics, that are addressed differently than in dogs and cats.
- This brief introduction is to understand how to recognize a healthy chick and how to know if it may be sick. There are also suggestions on how to reach the diagnosis and on the most useful diagnostic methods.
Teaching goals
The objectives of this introduction to avian radiology are to learn the techniques of positioning birds in order to radiograph the various anatomical districts, and the peculiarities of avian anatomy compared to that of more conventional mammals.Teaching goals
- If feather-plucking in birds is often frustrating for the vet, it is also because they are not normally addressed in depth.
- The objective of this short course on plucking is to frame a problem that is much wider than what is usually assumed.
- In fact, plucking can have organic, psychological and behavioral causes. We will try together to resolve this complicated issue a bit.
