Hepatic Lipidosis in a Common Mynah (Acridotheres tristis) Associated with Pododermatitis and Consumption of Broiler Pelleted Feed %R 10.22059/ijvm.2012.30226 %X An adult common mynah ( Acridotheres tristis ) was presented with severe signs of progressive depression , anorexia , debilitation , and also a history of moderate pododermatitis for the last two months . Hepatomegally was diagnosed clinically and radio-logically . The bird died a couple of hours after referral . Postmortem examination revealed typical liver enlargement with yellowish brown discoloration . Diffused hepatocytes fatty degeneration was demonstrated in histopathology and hepatic lipidosis was diagnosed as the main lesion in the liver . Providing a very small enclosure and a single low quality perch with minimal activity opportunity led to pododermatitis. Subsequent further activity restriction and feeding a high energy diet to the bird were possibly the triggers of this metabolic disorder. Regarding the bird species , providing appropriate diet and enclosure are essential for having healthy pet birds , and is often ignored by negligent or uninformed owners . %U https://ijvm.ut.ac.ir/article_30226_3f74e63380003e98a18c926ba36a277e.pdf
