Resumo
A Turquoise-fronted Parrot (Amazona aestiva) was attended at the Veterinary Hospital Dr. Jerônimo Dix-Huit Rosado Maia - HOVET UFERSA presenting changes suggestive of hepatic, apathetic disease, below-average body score and with diarrhea. After correction of the diet and initial treatment with anti-inflammatory and essential amino acids, the animal returned with episodes of seizures, suggesting clinical diagnosis for hepatic encephalopathy. Treatment with silymarin (at a dose of 75 mg / kg orally -VO) twice daily (BID) was instituted for 30 days, then extended for continuous use, thus achieving a stability in the general picture of the animal.(AU)
