Learn avian sedation & anesthesia with Dr. Angela Lennox. Explore drugs, risks, monitoring, and when sedation replaces general anesthesia in birds.
This webinar explores sedation and anesthesia in birds, focusing on drug selection, risks, and clinical use. Dr. Angela Lennox explains when sedation is preferred over general anesthesia, along with monitoring, handling, and recovery in avian patients.
Birds often require sedation or anesthesia for a wide range of clinical situations, from routine handling of highly stressed individuals to diagnostic procedures and surgical interventions. In this comprehensive webinar, Dr. Angela M. Lennox (DVM, DACVP, DECZM, Avian & Exotic Animal Specialist, Adjunct Professor at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine) provides an evidence-based overview of avian sedation and anesthesia practices.
The session reviews commonly used sedation agents in birds, including their benefits, limitations, and safety considerations. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making—when sedation is appropriate versus when general anesthesia is required. The webinar also covers the integration of local analgesia for minor procedures, along with step-by-step guidance on administration techniques, monitoring, and recovery protocols to improve patient outcomes.
