What I forgot to say in my blog is that we are required to wear face masks when doing necropsies on birds because of Aspergillus, as it is highly contagious and people can get it! Very nasty indeed!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196150073904820184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22985348.post-74847415232363094652006-12-29T10:36:00.000-08:002006-12-29T10:36:00.000-08:00Per the email I sent you, Heather, that gull may h...Per the email I sent you, Heather, that gull may have had "Aspergillus Fumigatus," which can reduce the bird's lungs to powder.

I did a few of those on lizards that broke their legs, and of course I see them on patients all the time here at Harborview. That Tundra swan was pretty, sorry it didn't make it. But glad the owl made it! What an unusual reaction to stress, although some dogs will yawn a lot if stressed. And not sure WHAT to say about the gull. Must have been a VERY nasty lung problem to destroy his lungs so there was no viable tissue visible. Wonder if inhaled something toxic. Poor baby! Glad to see you are up and running again. I'm tired of waiting for posts! :}~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
