Fistula tembolok pada kakatua putih (Cacatua alba)
Abstract
Pemeliharaan burung kakatua di Indonesia secara individual menyebabkan burung mudah mengalami stress dan menimbulkan perilaku feather pecking atau mencabuti bulunya sendiri. Perilaku ini dapat menyebabkan luka pada area yang bulunya dicabuti dan jika hal tersebut terjadi di area tembolok akan menyebabkan fistula tembolok. Fistula juga dapat disebabkan oleh kesalahan manajemen pakan dengan memberikan pakan terlalu banyak atau terlalu panas. Tembolok yang sudah berlubang dapat diperbaiki dengan melakukan penjahitan dan pemberian enrofloxacin secara oral. Pencegahan yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan memperbaiki edukasi klien terkait manajemen pemberian pakan agar tidak terlalu banyak atau terlalu panas, dan juga terkait enrichment pada kakatua yang dipelihara secara individual.Downloads
