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.
蛋滞留最常影响虎皮鹦鹉、鸡尾鹦鹉、雀类和金丝雀。病因包括蛋过大或位置异常、缺乏运动、过早或过晚筑巢、产蛋过多、子宫损伤或感染、肥胖、营养不良、环境温度突然下降以及遗传因素。临床症状为站立不稳、羽毛蓬松、眼睑半闭、频繁摆尾或用力、尾基部肿胀以及蹲伏在笼底。通过体格检查和X光摄影进行诊断。治疗方法可能包括将环境温度提高到85-90华氏度、润滑泄殖腔、肌肉注射钙溶液和/或催产素、吸蛋以及剖腹手术。
