Avian Laser Therapy
An Effective and Minimally Invasive Approach to Birds Care
Laser therapy has become an innovative and effective treatment option for various avian conditions, especially chronic wounds, skin lesions, feather damage, and mitigating inflammation.
Why Use Laser Therapy in Birds?
- Promotes cellular energy production (ATP) and tissue regeneration
- Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
- Increases growth factors synthesis aiding healing
- Particularly beneficial for birds due to their delicate skin and reduced blood supply
- Non-invasive and well tolerated with no noted side effects
Clinical Benefits Seen in Avian Patients
- Faster wound closure and skin regeneration
- Improved elasticity and tensile strength of skin tissue
- Reduced pain and inflammation
- Enhanced well-being and recovery speed
Case Studies in Avian Laser Therapy
Peregrine Falcon with Chronic Skin Wounds
A young peregrine falcon suffering from severe chronic wounds on its legs, likely caused by improper equipment, underwent MLS® Laser Therapy with the M-VET device. The protocol involved multiple sessions over two weeks. As a result, healing was accelerated with complete resolution of milder wounds and significant improvement of severe lesions shortly after treatment ended.
Little Owl with Wound on Joint
A little owl developed a wound on the right tarsal-metatarsal joint after jess application. Despite anti-inflammatory and topical interventions, the wound persisted. With laser therapy introduction, clear improvement was seen within the first week, and full skin healing was achieved by the sixth session.
Rosy-faced Lovebird with Feather Pecking Lesions
This lovebird had chronic skin lesions due to feather pecking. Previous treatments showed limited results. Laser therapy significantly improved the lesions within one week and fully regenerated the skin by the sixth session.
The Importance of Quality Equipment: Eclipse®-VLS
The effectiveness of veterinary laser therapy and surgery in avian medicine is heavily dependent on the quality and suitability of the equipment used. Many veterinary laser devices are primarily designed for small companion animals and clinic-based procedures. While some systems may include general protocols adaptable to birds, they often lack the specialized features required to address the unique anatomy, physiology, and clinical needs of avian species.
In this context, the Eclipse®-VLS system stands out as an innovative and comprehensive solution. Designed with versatility and precision in mind, this all-in-one veterinary laser system is well suited for avian veterinary applications, offering exceptional performance in laser therapy, surgical procedures, and supportive care. The system includes extensive pre-set protocols that can be adapted for common avian conditions and allows clinicians to create custom protocols tailored to individual species and cases. Its high output power helps reduce treatment times, which is particularly beneficial for minimizing stress in birds.
With a portable design, durable aluminum housing, and armored fiber, the system is well equipped for use in a variety of clinical and field settings. A high-capacity Li-ion battery provides more than an hour of operation on a single charge, and the fast-charging capability ensures efficient workflow in mobile or off-site environments. By adopting advanced laser technology designed to meet these demands, we can help ensure that avian patients receive safer, more effective care, leading to healthier, more comfortable lives.
