Sedation as an Alternative to Anesthesia in the Avian Patient

Bird patients often require sedation or anesthesia for procedures ranging from handling stressed individuals to diagnostics and surgery. In this webinar, Dr. Angela M. Lennox (DVM, DACVP, DECZM) presents a comprehensive overview of sedation strategies in avian medicine, including drug selection, safety considerations, and the role of local analgesia in minor procedures.

Participants will gain practical insight into when sedation can be used instead of general anesthesia, along with step-by-step guidance on administration, monitoring, and recovery. Supported by both clinical experience and research, this session is designed to help veterinary professionals improve outcomes in psittacine and other pet bird species.
