Avian patients present unique challenges in veterinary anesthesia due to their physiology and stress sensitivity. This webinar, led by Dr. Angela M. Lennox, provides a structured review of sedation and anesthesia techniques used in birds, from handling to surgical procedures.

Participants will explore sedation drug protocols, risk assessment, and monitoring strategies in avian species. The session highlights when sedation can replace general anesthesia and how local analgesia can support minor procedures. Practical guidance on administration, intra-procedure monitoring, and recovery ensures clinicians can improve safety and reduce complications in avian patients.

The session also includes practical guidance on avian patient handling, sedation techniques, monitoring during procedures, and recovery care. It is ideal for veterinarians, veterinary students, and exotic animal practitioners.
