Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism and osteodystrophia fibrosa in a Hodgson's hawk-eagle (Spizaetus nipalensis)

Abstract: A Hodgson's hawk-eagle (Spizaetus nipalensis) reared by a falconer showed severe weakness with multiple fractures of bone. It had a history of being fed an all-meat diet. Serological examination revealed a hypocalcaemia (72.0 mg/ml), and hypophosphataemia (29.0 mg/ml). Gross and microscopic examinations demonstrated severe osteodystrophia fibrosa (fibrous osteodystrophy) characterized by osteoclastic bone resorption and intertrabecular fibrosis with unmineralized trabecular bone containing a large amount of un… Show more

“…In this case, impaired intestinal Ca absorption causes serum hypocalcemia, which in turn stimulates parathyroid glands to produce parathyroid hormone (Uhl, 2018). Secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism continually increases bone resorption (Toyoda et al, 2004). In response, there is a replacement of the reabsorbed bone tissue with connective tissue, which characterizes generalized fibrous osteodystrophy (Olson et al, 2015).…”

“…These cells have been described in several cases of hyperparathyroidism in animals (ROTH; CAPEN, 1974), but the diagnosis of fibrous osteodystrophy can also be concluded without the presence of these cells. Therefore, factors such as the age of the bird, type of nutrient and duration of the deficiency are related to the proliferation of oxyphilic cells in avian hyperparathyroidism (TOYODA et al, 2004), since these cells are not normally found in birds, as they are in cattle, horses and humans (BANKS, 1992). …”
