Learning Objectives
Review the challenges of antibiotic therapy in birds
Describe criteria for antibiotic selection, in general and more specific to treatment of bacterial diseases in birds
Review common antibiotics used, highlighting their advantages, disadvantages and limitations for use in avian species
Challenges of antibiotic therapy in birds
Advanced stage of disease at presentation
Few to no pharmacokinetic studies investigating antibiotic drugs in avian species
Significant variability in absorption and metabolism of drugs between the different species of birds (example: canary vs. macaw vs. turkey)
