Egg Binding Symptoms In Birds

This Video Sows
Egg binding occurs when the egg does not pass through the reproductive system at a normal rate. Dystocia occurs when there is difficulty in laying an egg because of an obstruction. Both are common, and often preventable, problems in pet birds. Both can occur in female birds not exposed to a mate, since eggs may be formed and laid without the presence of a male. If diagnosed and treated early, the outcome is generally very good. If either condition goes on for too long, complications and death, especially in smaller birds, may result.
What are the signs of egg binding and dystocia in birds?

Signs will vary depending upon the severity of condition and can include:

Abdominal straining
Bobbing or wagging of the tail
Drooping of the wings (canaries)
Wide stance
Depression
Loss of appetite
Lameness or leg paralysis (the egg puts pressure on the nerves going to the legs)
Distended abdomen
Droppings stuck to the vent area (the bird cannot raise her tail when passing waste)
Fluffed feathers
Weakness
Difficult breathing (the retained egg puts pressure on the air sacs)
Sitting on the floor of the cage
Possible prolapse of part of the reproductive tract (the inner part of the reproductive tract is pushed out so that it is visible as a pink mass protruding from the cloacal opening)
Occasionally sudden death
How is egg binding diagnosed?

The veterinarian will make the diagnosis based on the clinical signs, history, physical examination, and radiography (x-rays) and/or ultrasound. If the bird is very stressed or in shock, it will be necessary to stabilize her before proceeding with extensive examinations.
