Abstract
Editor's Note: The AFA is very
pleased to present a new series of
columns called Veterinary Viewpoints,
edited by Amy Worell, D.V.M.
Dr. Worell was gra·duated from
Auburn University with a D.V.M.
degree, with honors. She bas practiced
in southern California for the last six
years where she sees a large number of
avian patients. She bas a special interest
in pediatrics and nutrition and, as
an aviculturist, is currently working
with nine species of cockatoos, African
gray parrots, scarlet macaws, and
pion us parrots. Dr. Worell is active in
a number of professional associations
and is a frequent lecturer on avian
medicine.
A unique thing about Veterinary
Viewpoints is that a number of veterinarians
are consulted and a broad
spectrum of viewpoints are presented.
You won't get just one veterinarian's
opinion. No single vet can know all
about everything so Dr. Worell will
solicit answers from various vets. This
way we hope to get the best answers
from the best people on any...
