The case material is a 15 months-old lovebird who performed hysteretomy operation for egg binding three months ago. Calcium gluconate (0.5 mg/100 g) and oxytocin (1 unit/kg) were administered intramuscularly after the lubrication of the cloacal opening. These applications yielded no results and attempts were made to remove the egg manually as a result of which the egg shell was broken. By considering the case's current condition and future life, treatment by hysterectomy was preferred. The surgical operation was successfully performed under genera! anesthesia. It was showed that although general anesthesia and surgical operations are risky in such cases, they can be successfully performed.
