Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract is commonly involved in many avian diseases, and vomiting and/or regurgitation is a common presentation. This chapter provides information to facilitate rapid definitive diagnosis, effective treatment protocol and supportive care, which will often result in successful case resolution of vomiting or regurgitating patients. Case examples: Regurgitating/vomiting Umbrella Cockatoo; Blue and Gold Macaw with zinc toxicosis; Budgerigars with Macrorhadbus ornithogaster.

Young birds, such as this African Grey Parrot, are very susceptible to polyomavirus if exposed. One of the first clinical signs associated with polyomavirus in birds of this age is crop stasis or regurgitation. Note: the pictured chick is healthy. © 2018 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
