POST MORTEM EXAMINATIONS.



RULES.


Each bird must be forwarded, as soon after death as possible, carefully packed and postage

paid, direct to Mr. Arthur Gill, M.R.C.V.S., Veterinary Establishment, Bexley Heath,

Kent, and must be accompanied by a letter containing the fullest particulars of

the case. Domestic poultry, pigeons, and Canaries cannot be dealt with. If a reply

by post is required a fee of 2/6 must be enclosed.



Grey Parrot (Mrs. Hart). Death due to inflammation of liver and bowels.

Full particulars sent by post. Thanks for P.O. 2/6.]


Passerine ParrakeET (Mrs. Ratliborne). [Bird died of apoplexy, other¬

wise healthy. Thanks for P.O. 2/6. Reply by post.]


Gouedian Finch (Mrs. Rotcli). [Died of heart failure. One of those

lingering cases of inanition in which all the tissues become wasted.

Reply sent by post. Thanks for P.O.]


Parrot Finch (Mrs. Johnstone). [Your bird died of congested liver. It

is difficult to ascribe the cause as you do not state temperature of

bird room and general treatment. Your feeding seems correct.]


Parrot Finch (Mrs. Johnstone). [Your bird was much emaciated. It had

three small growths in the oesophagus which produced the difficulty

in swallowing. The bird died of exhaustion. It was a lien.]
