[Antibiotic therapy in psittacines].
The use of different antibiotics in psittacines is described. Among other aspects especially the anatomy of the bird and its consequence for the application of medicaments is taken into account. The use of antibiotics in psittacines often turns out to be difficult because of missing data about their pharmacokinetics, dosage, period of application and their compatibility. In order to deal with the increasing number of pet-birds in the veterinary practice, further examinations have to be conducted.
