Abstract

Umbilical hernias are often described in ruminants but Reports of typical literature are not available in ventral abdominal hernias in birds especially in pigeons. Abdominal hernias have been pigeon-holed as a parting in the aponeurosis of the abdominal musculature on the ventral midline where the purpose of this case report is to give an overview of the diagnosis and surgical approach of ventral abdominal hernia in pigeons. Five male King breed pigeons of different ages (4 months – 12 months) and weights (200grams – 500grams) were presented to SAQ Teaching Veterinary Hospital, CVASU from January/2017 to July/2020 with the common history of gradual swelling in the ventral abdominal region. The clinical and radiographic examination confirmed the ventral abdominal hernia and decided for surgical correction. With standard aseptic procedure and 1% lidocaine anesthesia, coeliotomy was performed in all cases. Postoperatively antibiotic, ciprofloxacin was administered intramuscularly for 7 days at the dose rate of 10 mg/kg body weight and monitored until wound healing. The follow-up study for 1 month revealed no complications. The result of this case study recommends that this approach can be used as a curative method for ventral abdominal hernia repair in pigeons.
