Proventricular Impaction Associated with Nonsuppurative Encephalomyelitis and Ganglioneuritis in Two Canada Geese

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: Two wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in an extremely emaciated state and with severe proventricular food impaction also had a nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis and ganglioneuritis. The condition in these two birds was morphologically similar to psittacine proventricular dilatation, a recently identified disease of psittacine birds.
