Kuğularda (Cygnus cygnus ve Cygnus atratus) Melek Kanat Sendromu
Sunulan çalışmada, Büyükşehir Belediyesi Park ve Bahçeler Müdürlüğüne ait, yaklaşık 5.5-7.5 kg ağırlığında, kanatları bilateral olarak ventrale doğru sarkmış ve kanat uçları dorsale doğru dönmüş 6 erkek kuğunun [iki siyah (Cygnus atratus) ve dört beyaz (Cygnus cygnus)] tanı ve tadavi süreci ele alındı. Kuğuların günlük rasyonda (pelet yemi) ve ayrıca parkı gezenler tarafından (ekmek, simit, cips vb.) beslendiği öğrenildi. Klinik muayenede kuğuların kanatlarında yeni tüy gelişiminin olmadığı ve uç kısımlarında deformasyonlar bulunduğu görüldü. Kuğuların kanatlarını kullanamadıkları ve abdomenden uzak pozisyonda tuttukları dikkat çekti. Kuğuların rasyonları düzenlenerek, kanatları 7 gün süre ile abdominal duvara bandajlanarak hareketleri kısıtlandı. Melek kanatları sendromu erken teşhis edilirse, tedavi edilme şansının yüksek olduğu belirlendi
Angel Wings Syndrom in Swans (Cygnus cygnus and Cygnus atratus)
In the present study 6 male swans two black (Cygnus atratus) and four white (Cygnus cygnus), weighing about 5.5-7.5 kg, with bilateral wingsagging and turning out of the wing tips belonging to Parks and Gardens Directorate of Metropolitan Municipality were used as materials.The swans were being fed on daily ration (pellet feed) as well as food residues such as bread, bagels, chips, etc. thrown by visitors. The clinicalexamination revealed that developing feathers and the tips of the wings of swans were stuck up from its normal position. The wings of theswans were bandaged adjacent to their bodies for one week and their rations were arranged. Angel wings have a high chance of beingtreated if the problem is diagnosed early.
