Join the Lafeber Company for a FREE, live, interactive webinar hosted by Laura Doering, former editor of Bird Talk magazine and Birds USA magazine. Our special guest, Dr. Stephanie Lamb, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice), will continue her Avian disease deep dives with a discussion on an all-too-common disease. Psittacosis, ornithosis, chlamydiosis, parrot fever – a disease with many names and nothing good about it! Dr. Lamb will explore this complex, zoonotic disease and how it affects our parrots and those who live with them. She will cover this disease from diagnosis, managing a case, and trying to prevent it, in this insider’s view of the daily happenings at your Avian Vet’s clinic.
