PROLAPSO DE CLOACA EM CALOPSITA (Nymphicus hollandicus): RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

The cloacal prolapse is a disease that the birds’ cloaca is expelled through its opening, which can happen due to many factors and later it can evolve to an inflammatory stage. This impacts the animal’s life quality, offering risks like tears of this exposed structure. The present assay was developed with the purpose of describing a clinical report of a female cockatiel, of 8 years old, that was admitted at a veterinary clinic in the city of Teófilo Otoni – Minas Gerais. The bird owner’s main complaint was the protrusion of a swollen structure, diagnosed later as an episode of a complete cloacal prolapse. The animal was anesthetized and went through surgical treatment to correct the cloacal prolapsed and realocated it after a reduction of its local edema due to the inflammatory stage. There weren’t any intercurrences and the bird showed a great post-surgery recuperation.
