Abstract
The canary (Serinus canaria) is a highly popular bird with families as a companion animal and among breeders for competitive purposes. The mortality rate in these animals is very high at the onset of an epidemic, and the technical times of a laboratory often necessitate starting treatment before having completed the diagnostic procedure. This article describes a practical approach that deals with the first things to do in the clinic as soon as the animal arrives or the breeder asks for advice and explains the procedure in a specialist laboratory for processing samples and completing the diagnosis.
