Abstract

Cavity fluids are present in body cavities to coat organs and perform fundamental functions. Their accumulation is pathological and their analysis can reveal conditions such as inflammation. Effusions in birds can occur in the coelomic or pericardial cavity, with diverse underlying causes. A cockatiel from the Sylvio Barbosa Cardoso Veterinary Hospital (HVSBC) showed an increase in volume in the coelomic region. Evaluation of the fluid collected from this region suggested a modified transudate, based on physicochemical and cytological analysis. This report demonstrates the importance of cavitary fluid analysis in unconventional pets for diagnostic elucidation.
