When a “simple infection” is not so simple…

Mimi, a female Ringneck, came to us in a very serious condition. She was weak, dehydrated, with diarrhea, respiratory distress, and clear signs that something systemic was happening.

Initial tests showed a severe bacterial infection, and we immediately started antibiotics and supportive care.

However, despite the treatment, some signs were not improving as expected — especially the abnormal urates and persistent diarrhea.

That’s when we decided to go deeper.
Blood tests revealed significant organ involvement and an important inflammatory response.

Based on the clinical picture and lab findings, we suspected Chlamydiosis (Psittacosis) — a disease that is often underdiagnosed, but can be very serious.

Once we started the specific treatment, Mime responded beautifully, improving day by day.

⚠️ Why this case matters?

Chlamydiosis is not just a disease of birds — it is a zoonosis, meaning it can be transmitted to humans.

In birds, it can cause:

• Respiratory signs
• Diarrhea and abnormal urates
• Lethargy
• Liver involvement
• Sudden worsening without clear cause
In humans, it may lead to flu-like symptoms, pneumonia, eye infection and systemic illness — especially if not diagnosed early.

✅ What should you do?

If your bird shows any signs of illness, do not wait.

Early diagnosis can be life-saving — for your bird and for you.

And remember: not all infections are what they seem at first!!!!

Two days ago, I experienced one of the most important moments of my life — and a very special day for pet birds across the United Arab Emirates.
was created to be a veterinary clinic dedicated exclusively to our pet birds.

This dream began almost 20 years ago, when I was just a young graduate with a dream that seemed almost impossible. The journey was long, difficult, and often painful, but also filled with stories of resilience, hope, and small miracles. Along this path, I had the privilege of being used as an instrument of care and healing for these winged beings who fill the skies and our lives with beauty and joy, yet still suffer in silence without proper help in many parts of the world.
Today, this dream has become reality and it was not built alone.

I would like to deeply thank my partners and my team, who believed in this project from the beginning; my wife and my kids, who stood by my side and supported me through every challenge; the professional partners ( , , , ) and .khattab.vet who support me and trusted this vision; and, most importantly, my clients, for their trust throughout all these years.

And a very special thank you to my feathered patients because in truth, it is not only me saving your lives… you save mine every single day.

We are building omething unique and dedicated for all parrots in the United Arab Emirates. Wait until my next post!

Due to my difficult daily routine, basically attending emergencies all day long, it is impossible for me to attend to more than one branch at the same time. But I found a solution and will be available at the best pet stores soon 😅.

Birds need extra care during the hottest summers. Find out how to keep your birds healthy and happy even in the intense heat:

💧 Keep the water fresh and clean: Always keep fresh water available for the bird. In hot climates, birds can dehydrate quickly, so check regularly for clean, fresh water and replace it as needed. In addition, you can offer shallow water tubs so that the bird can cool off.

⛱ Provide adequate shade: Birds naturally already have a high body temperature of 40 ish C-42 ish C ( 104 ish F - 107.6 ish F ) which makes them very sensitive to excess heat. Avoid direct exposure to the sun in the hottest hours of the day. And make sure there is always a shaded place at a pleasant temperature available for your pet bird.

😋 Offer proper feeding: In hot climates, birds may lose their appetite, so offer fresh, moisturizing foods such as fruits and vegetables with high water content. Avoid leaving perishable food in the cage for too long, as heat can accelerate spoilage.

🧐 Constantly monitor: Be aware of signs of overheating or thermal stress in your bird, such as: rapid breathing, wings away from the body and apathy. If you are observing these signs, move the bird to a cooler spot immediately and offer fresh water in the water cooler.

With this care, your bird will be safe to endure the summer with all safety and comfort. ✅

Did you know that bird bones are quite different from mammalian bones? They are much lighter because they are hollow inside and some bones like the humerus are full of air, as they have communication with the respiratory system. And this kind of bone is called pneumatic bone. 🦴🦜

And do you know why this is so cool? Because this structure makes the skeleton of birds super light, which is essential for flight. When you watch a bird fly effortlessly, remember those amazing bones that make it so agile.

Birds are active animals and, like humans, can get sick. It is important to be aware of the signs that your bird is not well, so you can take it to the vet as soon as possible. 🩺

Check out the 3 alerts:

🚫 Behavior change: Birds are very active animals. If your bird becomes less active or exhibits abnormal behavior, such as staying in the same place for a long time, sleepy or staying at the bottom of the cage, it may be a sign of a health problem and seek veterinary care immediately!

🐦 Altered feathers: Healthy birds have clean, smooth and tidy feathers. If your bird’s feathers are constantly goosebumps, littered with f***s around the cloaca and dull this can be indicative of problems!

❌ Loss of appetite: Birds have a very accelerated metabolic rate, naturally are in search of food all day. If your bird refuses to eat, this may be a sign that something is wrong with your pet’s health. And the easiest way to see if your bird is eating properly is to weigh the animal weekly and watch the amount of f***s at the bottom of the cage. A cage with little f***s can be a clear sign that your bird is not eating.

If you identify one of these signs, do not hesitate to see a veterinarian. Your attention and agility in seeking help are essential to ensure a long and healthy life for your feathered pet.

Save this post to consult later and carefully observe the health of your bird! 📌🦜

Feeding birds exclusively with sunflower and seed mixture can bring several dangers to the health and well-being of your feathered child. 🚨🦜

Although seeds are a natural part of the diet of some species, they are high in fat and calories and very poor in nutrients.

For pet birds, a seed-based diet will cause nutritional deficiencies and serious health problems such as obesity, bone fragility, bone and plumage problems, immune system impairment and a substantial reduction in the life expectancy of your bird, increasing the risk of early death due to nutritional insufficiency.�😣

Therefore, offering a balanced and free diet of oilseeds is essential to ensure that birds receive all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy life.

And remember, the specialized poultry veterinarian will help you determine the most appropriate diet for your bird. ✅

This female Australian parakeet arrived in delicate health, battling obesity and a large lipoma in her celomatic cavity. Excessive fat accumulation had impaired her respiratory capacity, and she needed immediate, wheezy care. 🦜💔

Due to the risk of respiratory issues, we initiated intensive treatment for weight loss, nutritional replacement, and dietary re-education.

A crucial note for Australian parakeet owners: this species can be quite resistant to new foods. Be patient as you transition from seed mix to a balanced diet for their well-being. 🌱🥦
